These have been handled over time and subsequently with numerous creases, wear and general movement to the paper, including a few with folded creases to corners and edges, along with a few odd tears to the edges. Some with spots of discoloured areas and the odd one where ink is visible from the reverse image. Please see extra photographs added to the website illustrating some of these issues.
