One of my customers looks around for
lovely, old scrapbooks at auctions and antique stores and brings them in for restoration,
which she then reuses for her own photos and memorabilia. "Better than brand
new!"
Original scrapbook cover,
probably from the 1880's.
Original inside pages removed by
prior owner or seller.
New pages double-guarded at the spine
for swelling of inserted memoriabilia.
Detail of heavy weight, acid-free,
doubled-guarded paper and new spine.
Detail of new spine; spine fabic is Japanese book cloth
to match the color of the front cover woman's dress.
