Before and after treatment.
Situations
arise where a new approach to preservation and
stabiliataion is necessary. The small group of four Civil
War era flags at the Old Dutch Church, is
such a case. The flags were nailed to the inside of an
oak paneled wall cavity and sealed tight. The site had
no place for large mounts to fully support the flags on.
A three-dimensional mount was created that the
encapsulated flag was wrapped around. The orientation of
the flag was to mimic the original installation in the
case.
The dedication of the flags' return to the church.
