This week I'm working on a new(ish) acquisition which is an early 1900s brochure for new Anglican workwear/ uniforms. The inside back cover includes swatches of very beautiful woven wool.
Someone tried to repair it with pressure sensitive tape. The repairs failed.

#CakeMasking in public. Public transport over car driving with acknowledgement that some people need a car. Twitter alumni from the early exodus. Love heist films. American and English languages with a few other basics under the tongue: Italian, Spanish, Swahili, Japanese. Best trip ever was Antarctica.

#Paperhistorians and #paperconservation experts, any idea what caused these distinct spots in the texture of an #18thcentury #laidpaper? I presume it has to be something in the tray, but what? It is of absolutely no consequence but I'd love to know.

#Conservation experts, may I pick your brains? Where would an art collector learn the basics of #PaperConservation, cleaning and repair for works on paper - enough to appraise the damage and have sense of what needed doing. Books, courses, readings, videos: any leads would be welcome. I've always turned to others, but want to know more for myself.
