Amazing Skill in Restoring Paintings
Some years ago Sargent's portrait
of Henry James, displayed at the
Royal Academy, was badly hacked by
a cleaver wielded by a suffragist. The
work of restoration, which was en-
trusted., to Roller, was 'not overdiffi-
cult.
The canvas, after the painted sur-
face had bean ,protected with tissue
paper, was placed upon a slate table.
The back was then covered with a
sticky fluid, which was pressed
