Wow, that is in poor shape but really amazing to see what it should look like. I think a good conservation company will be able to connect the torn pieces and "clean up" the surface to a certain extent to add more clarity to the composition. I have had a few prints restored and they are time consuming and expensive.

Please keep us posted on what you decide to do with the piece. You may be able to frame out the missing pieces so that it looks better by having a custom mat with slanted corners once you've had the piece somewhat restored.

I would not spend the money to get it restored. I dont even know if a restorer would take on the project. Its not a matter of needing a clean and some fill. A lot would need to be recreated and a lot has faded so much it would have uneven color. Good luck with whatever you decide

from 1 email i have recieved back its going to cost from 1 conservator $500-$1000 and i'm not sure if i would sell it i would get my money back i would have in it. after seeing what it did look like it makes me want to spend the money to have it restored but thats alot of money to spend on photo to bring back some of its former glory.

what i might do is have it stabilized and then frame it with the letter from the hof and i would be happy with that
