This >print was framed and you can see the mark that >the mat made but the print area is pristine and >exactly matches the image before the storm. In >the other image you will see the site of the >house where the image was found- the house that >the print was in was completely demolished, this >house was next door. These prints, two of about >fifteen were found showed no evidence of fading! > >These prints are tough- no silver print would >have survived in tact this trial, we are still >looking for images and yet to find any more but >they may be buried beneath the rubble in the >house which is about 150 yards northeast of the >original site. Your prints survive! The print >was printed on Hanem?hle Photo Rag the Piezotone >ink was Warm Neutral with Museum Black. The message was accompanied by the photos but I couldn't include them in a message to the LUG.
