Abstract
Description
This letter was received by the lab framed in a group of six letters. The letters are in fair condition. The letters are of different beige and light brown paper stocks, some of which contain watermarks ‐ including a watermarked date of 1898 (see accompanying documentation of letters in transmitted illumination). They suffer from a variety of condition issues, such as staining along the bottom edge, dirt accumulation, and fading of the printed text which is likely printed from a dye‐based ribbon ink. This letter was framed with an acidic backing board that was discarded. To protect the letters from further fading, they were housed in a polyester encapsulated binding. The encapsulated binding leaves were welded with open edges along the gutter and bottom edges for digitization access. Printed photographic documentation was included in the encapsulated binding.
