Our client found several calendars in an old building believed to have been part of the original Demarest Co. We were requested to focus specifically on the young woman's portrait on this calendar.
We have provided several examples of damage, and a comparrison, which demonstrate the damage of bird droppings, subjection to many seasons of weather, tears and nail holes.
We removed the relative damage and replaced the torn & punctured areas.
The final restored portrait measured 18" X 24" to be framed and possibly displayed at a local bank
