The advantage of this structure is that it allows the relief to move freely in
all directions within the frame. The attachments for hanging were affixed
tothe back of the frame and not, as previously, on the cradling. Finally,
the surface of the relief was cleaned, and the old repairs, putty fillings, and
gaps were reintegrated with watercolor.
The restoration was completed on 5 May 1982 and has been
inspected regularly since then. It remains in good condition.Ethyl cellulose glue (N 50),Hercules Inc., 910 Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19899.
