Old Portsmouth - in original framing, looks a little flat so possibly laid down, one or two tiny fox marks but otherwise good condition, appears to be the original paper mount which is now discoloured and slim ebonised frame.
Fishing boats at sea - water damaged with a discoloured undulating water line running approx in line with the frame, approx. 0.75 inch of border showing beyond the plate mark, paper slightly discoloured, hints of insect dirt on the work but no sign of any foxing. In an old frame with Percy Beer of Southsea label verso.
Needles - matching frame to the previous item (rather tatty canvas covered pine), work itself showing one or two small fox marks again rather flat so thought to be laid down but otherwise good order.
