View of St James's Park, London

Name: View of St James's Park, London

Artist: Johannes Kip

Media: Varnished etching of 12 sheets of paper

Conservation:

• This project is called full conservation treatment

• Most important is working with colleagues; having the appropriate work spaces and equipment; patience and understanding from the client who had bought this work from a country house attic sale

A varnished print transformed by the varnish being removed; the cheap hessian lining being removed; every fragment of whatever size re used and a stunning piece to reframe.
