At the top left corner of the desk -- the (3) photos that create that corner are beginning to lift and have a very slight curl. Three other photos are lifting; first, at the top edge of the work, one of the bottom left corners is lifting; second, in the Letters of Van Gogh, one of the top corners of a photo is lifting; third, on the desk, the top left corner of the photo creating the second drawer on the right pedestal is lifting. All lifts are slight. The photos are stable. There is no toning, browning, foxing, little to no UV intrusion and no fading. The frame is original and has a couple of scuffs. They are not distracting.
