    Wow, it's unbelievable how the yellow discoloration just disappeared! So crisp and bright!

    I love your videos. I’m a big fan of Baumgartner fine art restoration on TH-cam also.
    I would love longer videos of your works with more detailed explanations of what you’re doing! It’s so fun to watch.

    Simply an unbelievable transformation. It's wonderful to see the conservation techniques from start to finish! Thank you!

    There seems to be a jump in the coverage at 7:47 - from trimming the new paper on the corner to suddenly cutting through a transparent layer around the letters and edges of the image. What was that about?

    This is awesome and makes since when you know how paper is made to begin with.

    With the greatest respect to Chris, on Posterfix, whose channel I love, well, this is absolutely perfection.

    Would you be able to get a close up of the little adjustments the conservator is making to the edges? Maybe in the next videos.

      I am pretty sure she is fixing the small tears along the edge and then cause the little flaps to fold over. Looks like she is carefully unfolding the tiny folds and pressing it back flat.

    At 2:32 when you flip it over it’s like wow, but then it just keeps getting lighter lol. Amazing

    the woman cutting out the small letters with a exacto blade was incredible! ive been doing stencils and stuff for 30 yrs, and am now-where close to her ability.

    It’s crazy to watch this process. It seems like getting the paper wet would make it damage easy.

    Another outstanding video as usual. I’d like a little more information as the restorer was doing her work, what was she doing with the knife? Why did she cover the writing with white? That kind of thing… be good to know! Thank you.

  • @27285Rusty

    Stunning work. Do things ever go wrong? For example, do the chemicals ever react badly with the pigments/paper? Are there ever tears from the process due to paper being so old/brittle? And if so, how are these tackled?

  • @sanpuru1969
    @sanpuru1969 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    Great results. As a collector of old crap, I'd personally be happiest with how it was at 5 minutes in - bright and clean, but with enough natural wear for it to still present as an original.

    I'm amazed you can wash a poster like that wash out rinsing out the ink or turning it into pulp.

  • @backi480
    @backi480 10 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

    Why ?
    Why not leaving the Original as is was.. sure a litttle bit care but not a total Reconstruction
    The Original had a Storry to tell every Defect every Mark was a Part of it !
    Now its gone .. why not making a "New Digital Twin" and save the Old one ??

      If someone in the future wanted to remove all the restoration they could do it without damaging the poster. And it will last longer now that the acid has been washed out.

    how delicate is the paper when wet?

    • @Nafregamisrocanob
      @Nafregamisrocanob 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      if you notice she sandwiches the poster between two sheets of mylar or some type of archival clear plastic when she washes….the squeegee only touches the plastic and pushes out water. It’s then glued to the canvas and dried.

    my grandmother has one of these, is there anything in particular that i should look for to tell if it's an original? it's hung in my childhood bedroom for 25 years now

    • @jacobyouknowwho
      @jacobyouknowwho 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Some of them (but not all) will say the date of manufacture underneath the border on either the bottom left or right. If it's been hanging in your room for 25 years, it's unlikely that you've missed that, though. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

    what kind of acid free paper is it mounted on? What kind of paper is used to fill in missing pieces? You don't really cover those things.

    "The poster is mounted to a stretched canvas frame." There is no stretched canvas. It's a wooden frame.
