The sheet is laid down. Slight buckling to the paper especially along the upper half. Light to moderate time staining which is more pronounced within the exposed area of the upper left-hand corner. The applied white or body colour to the inner part of the central birds right-hand outstretched wing has deteriorated and is showing in a discoloured and yellowed state. Small amount of sporadic tiny sized foxing spots around the central birds left-hand wing tip and elsewhere. Some slight reduction to the colour but generally good. Minor foxing extends also to mount. Not examined out of the frame.
