Restoration for The Minisink Valley Historical Society |
 | This landscape has been stored where it was subjected to smoke, soot and water. A previous restorer had tested the painting to see if the dirt and varnish were removable. As you can see, it is difficult to discern the image. |
| This shows the removal of the surface dirt but not the varnish. The image is now visible, but so is the extensive over-paint. |
| After the surface dirt is removed the discolored varnish and over paint is removed. |
| After the painting is cleaned and varnished. The Minisink Valley Historical Society collects and preserves local history and archaeological materials of various townships in the counties comprising the Minisink region. For more information about the society go to www.minisink.org |
