We are often faced with the task of reproducing and restoring photographs that are not entirely intact. Portraits similar to this example were mounted on to board and often framed using convex or “bubble” glass. Over the years, especially if removed from the original frame they become very brittle and are prone to breakage. This example like many others also has missing peices, which were recreated during the restoration. Interestingly the original was produced as a photo montage in the early 20′s from two seperate photographs.
