I completely agree.....I think this is getting worse by the day.....I
feel really really sick....how can anyone take away any
paper....restoring means something different.

I am astonished that any restorer would remove the
back of a window card (or insert, lobby card, or any other card stock
poster)
This is complete destruction of the integrity of
the paper itself and about as far away from real conservation practice
as I
could imagine.

We don't remove anything except old backings! Ones I
owned a Dracula's Daughter WC done this way, I sold it after a month,
couldn't
stand looking at it.
End of the day each restoration studio implements
their own techniques and this is by no means a peak at Diane. We all
do what
we feel is right.
Best,

Hi Diane
Surely removing the
"back layer card stock" is tantamount to changing the entire
character and authenticity of a window card. A window card is
supposed to be on thick card stock. Thats the way it is. It
doesnt seem right to me to be removing a layer of the poster.
Perhaps
you could elaborate on the process you use.

John

When working with window cards, we re
move the
back layer card stock, this way the poster can be cleaned, washed
and
deacidified, which also results in removing any
creasing/folds. We back it then with a layer of acid free masa
paper, same stuff used in linenbacking. A lot of window cards
have
been trimmed at the top, this then allows us to add the missing
paper,
making it to size. Card stock is then adhered to the masa,
repairs
are made, touched up, etc.
If you look at my first post about the
Dracula, I mentioned the fact that there was a layer of something
on the
back. To me, it looked like the poster had been backed to card
stock, cardboard or "something" and when it was pulled off, a
layer
remained, giving it a "fuzzy" (term I used on NSGE) feel. So we
removed
what we could on that, washed and linenbacked it.
So to answer your question, you are
absolutely right, it is possible, and just might be what happened
with the
Dracula poster.
