Perhaps a little grubby or a bit of dust, this noticeable in the sky area on the paper texture. Edges of picture crinkled a bit from handling presumably. A bit of foxing to both around the edges and corners. One appears to have little black specks, about ten under the glass in various areas on the mount. Discoloration. See additional photos.
