Large humidity traces appear on 6 of the 8 lithographs, in the lower part. Two of these 6 lithographs also have humidity traces in the upper part of the composition. All of the lithographs show dirt spots and foxing, scattered on the surface. Some scratches and waves appear on the surface. One lithograph has a tear on the lower part, by the border. It is possible that some wrinking by the borders could actually be former tears which have been restored since (the report was executed without unframing the works).
