Comprised of Idigestion, Jealousy, Tugging at a Eye Tooth (two states), The Cholic, The Head Ache, The Blue Devils, The third etching in the suite is in two states. With original portfolio. All are uniformly matted and framed

All but one of these sheets were inspected in frame under glass. "The headache" was taken out of the frame. This sheet was glued down to the a board behind and the mat surround was glued on the margins of the sheet, and there is residue build up from paper and adhesive. We are assuming these are all framed in a the same manner. There is a medium amount of yellowing to the overall sheet and some very slight mat burn. The color is still vibrant, but there is seem discoloration to the watercolor on the edge of the picture in the green to most all. There are a few pen tip sized foxing spots scattered on each sheet. The sheet that was inspected out of frame appeared to have it margin cut at the top, an approximate 3 inch margin still exists.
