Before Treatment

Picture
This is a 1909 Hamilton King poster.  The bottom text is gone, and there are many losses in the paper.

After Treatment

Picture
After treatment, the losses are filled in, and the missing text is filled in, using reversible pigment.

Severe water staining was the biggest detraction to this poster's beauty.

The staining is much reduced, and this poster can now be displayed.

1902 Hilda Clark piece.  Advertising pieces generally have had a hard life, and often have broken-off pieces.

Picture
Much better!
Picture
This is a rare little bookmark in sad condition.

This is what is described as a "triptych", a 3-part cardboard cutout.
Picture
Picture
We sometimes have to search for a picture of a complete one in order to replace the losses.

Picture
This is a 1920 cardboard cutout that has become very faded over time, plus the last girl's face is badly damaged.
Picture
Although there isn't always a solution to fading, it looks much better, and the girl has her face back.

​This poster was received rolled up, and is in very bad shape.
Picture
While it is sometimes impossible to remove all staining, the poster is now presentable.
