Interpositive of Abraham Lincoln by Alexander Hesler/George Ayres
Here’s a really interesting video about a glass photo image of Abraham Lincoln being repaired. I guess it’s full technical identification is an Alexander Hesler/George Ayres interpositive. Too bad its only 30 seconds. I would have liked to see more details. Really interesting:
Photographic conservation is so interesting. Has anyone else seen photos in a light box like this? Is this a highly unusual set up?
Here’s another 30 sec video of a project in our lab on a Spanish Colonial painting:
