The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
In addition to or in elaboration of the catalogue entry:
- with margins
- only one sheet examined out of frame, L'Oeillet (presumably the other sheets are in better condition but still backed)
- the sheets slightly toned, with pale light- and mount staining, occasional pale pinpoint foxmarks and occasional pale stains in places, some cockling in places along throughout, mainly along the sheet edges
- L'Oeillet, backed with a Japan paper support, the extreme upper sheet edge presumably glued to the mount, several repaired tears and paper splits (20 cm. and shorter), some unrepaired short tears, nicks and tiny paperlosses along the sheet edges, some soft handling creases in places
- L'Iris, Le Lys and La Rose not examined out of frame, each with remains of old adhesive glue at the upper margins, some short tears and paper splits visible at the sheet edges, Le Lys with a tear (presumably) repaired at lower right (13 cm.)
Otherwise as described, each framed.
