Looks as if may have been a bit damp as the paint and paint surface looks like it has been exposed to such conditions, although the picture remains perfectly in tact, present and correct.
Left mountains have a scuffed and slightly raised white wiggly line about 2.5cm.
Tiny surface dots, scattered in a couple of areas. E. g. Top left corner.
A small light red mark above central cottage.
Water drop marks. Light surface dirt and other small surface marks.
Condition report photos added.
