DescriptionChurch writes that although he does not wish to recommend any particular treatments for Watts' Lincoln's Inn fresco until he has seen it, he writes his suggestions for the restoration procedure that he believes would be effective; the suggestions are to firstly remove the dust using bellows and a feather brush, secondly to cleanse with liquids, but recommends testing this process; Church writes of the subsequent preservative treatment in which he recommends a solution of hard paraffin wax in benzene; Church expresses his delight at being of service to Watts in this matter.
