Very minor it was in good shape when I received it. I did not use a lot of water to minimize wrinkles, the few it had I was able to smooth out with squeegee.

Restoration today on very glossy paper.

The size is a 21x28, not sure of the year, I am bad at not taking before pics, but these were clean, just the normal food marks. The one had some pen marks, but that was easy to remove.

Thank you, I am learning every time I work with paper fill. At first it was intimidating to me, but it is rather simple with practice.

Thank you everyone for the support!!My confidence on working with paper fills is growing. The top of this poster was gone as seen in the before poster. I was able to find a good match and fill in with water color paints.in Beginning Discussion - Following Charlie's Path Comment by Duke January 2024
My latest restoration on a 1910 poster, when I washed it, there was minor toning and mold, the bath eliminating both.

Today’s restoration. This poster had half dollar size paper loss from the top to the bottom along the folds.
Flesh color, and blues are the hardest colors for me to match in water colors.
Today’s restoration. One of my favorite movies. I have found clay paper easy to work with. Distilled water works great. Just mounted this

Many great comments. As a restorer, just restore what you have, don’t add any embellishments. Matching paper to fill large voids, ok. Using water color pencil to match colors, ok. Cleaning and restoring colors, ok. Anything else is in my opinion def…Thanks
