Fairly pronounced time staining across the entire sheet which is slightly more pronounced towards the outer edges. Odd foxing spot / tiny-sized discoloured mark within sky. Pinhole to left-hand side edge approx 3cm from top corner. Minor imperfection to upper left-hand corner. Colour depth is slightly muted as a result of staining and possibly down on colour. Also executed on a somewhat muted palette and the splashes of green and blue appear fairly good. No evidence of cockling, not examined out of the frame.
