Condition
The three drawings are fully laid down onto supporting sheets. There are some very minor tears and losses at the extreme edge of the sheets. There also appears to be some discolouration to the extreme edges. This is probably the result of staining from previous acidic housing and is only visible when the drawings are viewed out of the mount. The watercolour pigments across the three works appear to have faded and there is some evidence of surface dirt. Subject to the above the works appear to be in good and stable condition.
The drawings are presented in a book mount and framed together in a simple square profile natural wood frame.
