The work progresses on the Merton Chambers tiles for the Grimsby library.
There was a considerable ammount missing from these two tiles as I posted earlier. Here they are a little too clean and with preliminary in-fills. I also upped the contrast of this picture under led light to study the text.
The text was found online in a Melbourne Australia Adventist newspaper. The missing text was a rant on the perils of wearing corsets. It must have been a reprint in a Grimsby newspaper. Oddly enough, Chamber's wife was Australian.
Here's the restored and 'dirtied-down' tiles after treatment shown in sunlight, where they will largely be viewed. I'm very pleased with the results.
