Subject: Damage caused by conservators
Twice in a month conservators appear to have wreaked havoc: An early report on the Windsor Castle fire attributed it to "the combination of high intensity halogen lights with cleaning fluids [sic] from cleaning paintings". Last week a library in a castle in Vienna (?) burned down, reportedly due to the carelessness of a conservator. Does anyone have any verification of these reports?
