Give Way to Tanks!

This poster from the WWII foreign poster holdings in the Still Pictures Branch at NARA came to the conservation lab recently for treatment. The poster was humidified and flattened, and the surface was lightly cleaned using vinyl eraser crumbs, which can pick up surface dirt yet are gentle on the paper and media. The cracked and flaking ink was consolidated. Tears were mended and the small loss at the top right corner was filled with acrylic-toned Japanese paper.
