In generally good condition. Some mount burn across the four Hogarths. Minor creasing the paper, noticeable particularly on 'The Industrious 'Prentice grown rich and Sheriff of London' in the middle right. All are mounted to, at least, partially obscure the plate mark, although the plate mark is apparent on two. Warping to the edges. Toning across the picture of the bird.
