Teri, thanks for the info. Strange that you think this was done in the 30s
as it was in with my father's art school work from the mid-20's, so we just
assumed it was from an assignment he did then in class.
My son picked up the picture today and will be bringing it to a fellow
artist who volunteered to help him decide what to do. He is very aware of
how to proceed cautiously. He told me that if it looks like it's too
fragile to repair, he'll photograph it before storing it carefully and
properly. (I won't pretend to know how to do that!) He will then use
PhotoShop to make the corrections, make a print of the finished product, and
frame that one for display.
Thanks again!
