Decal

As a conservation research team we are facing a deteriorated
transfer/decalcomanie image of Santa Clause from 1943-1944.  The
image is sticked on a piece of paper.  We know it's a water based
transfer.  After the crackling fragments are now cupping and loss of
fragments.  To develop a realistic conservation plan we need more
information.

We would welcome any information about manufacturing archives of
(water based) transfers, experiences in conservation treatment of
transfers or other suggestions to increase our knowledge on the
matter.
