Pauvacaw - paper discoloured with staining showing particularly around the top right and bottom margin, colours look good
Unripe Mangoes - similar discolouration showing top and right sides with a clear cropping on the left and hints of old tab marks so presumably these have been removed from a folio at some point, one or two scattered fox marks along with the 1840 inscription there is an 1846 pencil inscription top right.
Rangoon Creeper - again hint of staining across the top, pencil inscription for 16th August 1864
Moonthree Pulham - again acid staining across the top and down the right, but otherwise good.
