I love it, such wonder thru the snow.
I remember when I was at Winterthur, the museum seeing such.
I worked there for a while as a paper conservator.

Were it books(printings) or paintings that you've been mainly working with?

I mostly still work on paper objects. Prints, a lot of Pa German
Fraktur, and many other items of value on paper. We have done some
oils, by such as NC Wyeth that have never been published.
We have done many things over the past 40 years or so. We have a way
of "washing" pastels using ultrasonic mist and a suction table. I
have also built a numbe of those over the years.

Fascinating. I had to look up NC Wyeth though, and German Fraktur as
well. I am able to read Fraktur and also Kurrent or Sütterlin (That's
what the old handwriting is called in German.- Fraktur are the sort of
printed letters used in the headlines or the emphasized parts.) I've
found very interesting pieces of PA German Fraktur in the internet and
downloaded a nice set of handwritten initials from a Pennsylvanian site.
- If you should ever need a text to be translated from Kurrent, just
email me.

Do you have a picture of that item. I did a conservation job on a
small piece that had capital and lower case letters for a client now
passed. He was a special person and would help me with the words that
needed filling in. That piece was a special thing, rare and the people
at Ephrata were real pleased to get it. I had to charge a grand for
the job but it was time taking item. It was only about 4 inches by 6
inches in size.

I also worked at that library for a while. Did a lot of mats for the
persian miniatures. I would then fit the matted items into acid free
boxes for safe storage.
If I can get you email I will send a picture of the one I did.
