Additional Description

Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements

Two of the posters were extremely brittle and fragile, with tears along the folded lines. These two posters, and others with damaged edges, were repaired by Bridget Warrington in 2019. At this time all the posters were cleaned and a bespoke conservation-grade folder was made to hold them.
