Full Summer has slight discolouration and time staining to the paper, particularly to the edges. The are areas of old tape attached to the reverse and to the centre of the bottom edge, the bottom left hand corner, left hand side and top edge. The edges are quite tatty with marks to the bottom left hand corner and top corner and there are small tears to the bottom right hand corner and top left hand corner. Two spots of foxing to the bottom right hand corner of the image and areas of smaller, more sporadic foxing elsewhere. A brown area approximately 0.5cm to the centre of the lower half of the image within the hills. The second example has time staining to the paper, especially to the edges which are grubby in places. Spot of foxing to the top centre of the sky and one to the bottom half right of centre. A few other small sporadic spots of foxing. Shadow down the right hand side edge, perhaps evidence of an old mount.
