Subject: Damage caused by silverfish
I am currently working on an early 19th century English picturesque etching which has suffered quite serious silverfish damage around the edges of the image. The grazing is considerably distracting to the eye and it was decided that repair and toning of those areas affected should take place if possible. I would like to know if anyone has had experience in using pulp infill/leaf casting to repair silverfish damage on paper, whether either leaf casting or pulp would be effective and what alternatives might be available. *** Conservation DistList Instance 12:76 Distributed: Friday, March 26, 1999 Message Id: cdl-12-76-020 ***Received on Wednesday, 24 March, 1999
