. Example with building by the lakeside - Mount very time stained with some foxing etc... The sheet itself also has pronounced time staining throughout which is tempering the overall colour depth which is likely slightly faded also. Small amount of tiny sized sporadic foxing spots, most evident within the sky. No evidence of cockling. Not examined out of the frame. Second example - Frame in relatively poor state of repair with significantly time stained mount and worm holes to lower left hand corner. Significant time staining throughout sheet. Also more pronounced towards the outer edges (this also applies to the former). Varying sized foxing spots throughout image. Again colour depth is rather muted by the staining and likely some fading. No evidence of cockling to either. Not examined out of the frame.
