Remarks
Conservation: September 2015. The new seal was removed, the plate was electrocleaned for tarnish and washed with isopropanol. The plate which was glued to the paper mat had several glue spots on the corners. After washing the hallmark was seen. The plate was placed in its place with beeswax. It was resealed in its case with Filmoplast, and then glued with PVA and Carboxy Methyl Cellulose in order to enter in the frame.
