Operating as usual
Here is an interesting project. Was very brittle and a lot of tape on the reverse.
Today's project a 6 sheet classic. It seems appropriate some how.
We've been going through all of our old files here at Chicago Poster Restoration. We found some memorable before and afters.
Some new friends with a new project with many challenges. I'll share the results when complete.
Today's project, Carter the Great billboard 8-sheet from 1915, freshly linen backed.
It's been quite awhile since I've made a post, we have been busier than we have ever been around here. These before and after photos are of a project that we have had in house for a really long time. It was originally on old rotten card stock, water damaged and stained by water and mold. It has been removed from the card stock, bleached, Linen backed and restored.
Before and afters of some fun posters. They were both adhered to a type of heavy cardboard with a dry mount tissue. Tape on the back complicated the removal of the poster from the board. Posters were then bleached, linen backed and restored.
Today's project, Cole Bros Circus billboard, 93" x 120", 2 large sheets 93" x 60", a lot of wet paper to be handling at one time.
It's been awhile and thought I'd post a before and after of a recent project. A classic film by Ed Wood and a classic poster by..... some guy. 🙂
Before and after of a rare WWI poster. God bless the Red Cross.
Yesterdays project, a lot of color on display in the studio right now.
