For reasons I’ll explain later, I’ve been digging around on youtube.com and other places for videos about art conservation . Today I found one of my all-time favorite videos about conservation.
It’s a video of Grant Romer of the George Eastman House talking about the famous Abraham Lincoln glass plate negative. I think there’s a lot to like about this video: it’s a great subject; the video is well produced (note that this “video” is made entirely from still images); and I think Grant Romer’s voice sounds a lot like William Carols Williams’. What’s not to like?
