Subject: Glass colored prints
I am currently studying for an MA in Conservation Studies at West Dean College. The subject of my independent research project is the conservation of English reverse-glass prints. I am looking for information from conservators who may have worked on this type of object, in particular the types of consolidants and techniques that have been used to conserve the paint layer. To clarify reverse-glass print I am referring to flat glass which has had a print adhered to one side, the paper removed leaving the ink and a thin layer of paper, and the image coloured with paint. I have been able to find only a few articles specifically about the treatment reverse-glass prints as such any information would be greatly appreciated.
