| Abstract: | Summaries. Many horrific techniques of treatment and repair have and are still being used in the repair of Indian and Moghul miniatures; dry mounting, silking, unnecessary backing, misuse of heat-set tissues and extensive repainting. The use of irreversible surface coatings, soluble nylon, gum arabic, varnishes, etc., completely change the appearance of the miniatures. This paper presents an alternative and rather conservative approach to the treatment of these works of art on paper. |
