dear mike, I think, it’s hard to tell – if a damage is recent or historic. you could ask a paper-conservator.
if the paper is pretty dusty and the feeding sites aren’t – than they might be recent… I think the damage is from a silferfish! hold the paper in front of a light source and look from the other side, then you should see the thiner parts in the papersurface… best regards V o l k e r H i n g s t Dipl.-Restaurator Volker Hingst IPM-Koordinator --------------------------------------- LVR - Archivberatungs- und Fortbildungszentrum Technisches Zentrum / Papierrestaurierung Ehrenfriedstr.19 50259 Pulheim Tel.: 02234-9854-236 Fax: 0221-8284-2479 E-Mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Internet: www.afz.lvr.de<http://www.afz.lvr.de/> Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> Im Auftrag von Mike van der Steenhoven Gesendet: Donnerstag, 23.
