Savitry Bougnat Boulevard Saint Jacques - Before Treatment - Water damaged photograph - Water damaged photograph - Loss of image and corner

The bottom right corner and parts of image are missing

Following a water damage photographs are soaked with water thus very fragile. Manipulating them at this time is risky and can create a tear that may result in the loss of a fragment, like in this case. The print’s edges in the loss areas are friable. Creating an infill piece will add support to this very fragile area and help manipulate the print.
