The Art of Cleaning & Protecting Hand-Colored Photographs by Michael Ivankovich

This 22 page eBook by Michael Ivankovich will show you both in text and photographic detail The Art of Cleaning and Protecting Hand-Colored Photographs. Over the past 75-100 years most hand-colored photographs have deteriorated. Backing papers have fallen off, allowing dirt and insects to enter the picture. Cigarette smoke, oil, coal & kerosene heat, and simply age have caused the inside of the glass to become filthy. Highly acidic cardboard and wooden slat backings have enabled acids to migrate from the backings into the mat boards, and sometimes into the actual photographs themselves. Most vintage hand-colored photographs need some type of attention today…if they are going to last into the future. A good cleaning will enhance its beauty, and some very simple Protection Techniques will add decades of life while increasing the value of your hand-colored pictures. And basically anyone can do it, once you master the easy-to-follow steps outlined in this eBook..

 Why you need to Clean & Protect your hand-colored photographs.
