Mark Gray#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.
