About the Work

This boxing programme from 1909 was extremely torn, dog-eared, and falling apart at the spine. Improperly repaired with tape, the booklet was marred with adhesive stains and a central crease. To clean and treat this piece, our conservators removed the tape and dismantled the booklet. After fixing the tears, flattening the crease, and inpainting the areas of ink that had worn off, our conservators reassembled the restored programme.
