22.5 x 16 inches. Object appears to be a print that was embellished by hand and subsequently varnished. The object appears to have been exposed to high levels of humidity which has caused the paper to display planar distortion. |
| Photographed recto and verso in frame. removed from frame, dehinged the art (pressure sensitive tape was used by the framer to attach the art to the matt. I then photographed recto and verso outside of frame. Object was examined using tactile and visual means including magnification and blacklight. |
| In order to flatten the object, it would require humidification to relax the paper, this will also cause the paper to expand and could result in fracturing of the varnish layer. |
