In broadly good and clean state of preservation. One tiny dark coloured piece of debris trapped on the lower mount below the frame, thunder fly? Odd tiny foxing spot mostly to the lower mount. One tiny brown coloured fleck looks to be sitting on surface above the front part of the haed of the bird standing closest to the viewer. Possibly some light time staining in general but colours appear mostly clean and bright. No evidence of cockling, not examined out of the frame.
