Description

Yellow, red, or brown discoloration spots on paper. Foxing stains are thought to be caused by the waste-products of microorganisms. Another possible source of the stains is from iron impurities in the paper matrix that rust in high humidity. Foxing usually occurs in machine-made paper from the 18th and 19th centuries.
