Dear colleagues, I'm seeking advice on repairing nature print albums, specifically on the the appropriate methods and materials for stabilizing and reattaching butterfly wings which have come loose. The wings were adhered to a piece of card and then the card adhered to the album page. According to the note for the album, it was assembled some time around 1910 in Japan. There are currently two, 13 mm in length wings that have become separated from their supports. A survey of the album shows that there are several wings that are starting to lift off their support and will also need to be stabilized. Any thoughts and advice on this subject is greatly appreciated.
