<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 339941, member: 6444&quot;]Thanks all for the interest, information and excellent advice (and picture of the little girl - with one shoe off!). Thin is right. I had the same problem with trying to figure out how to put the very thin ivory together without damaging the image which is why I got stuck. Maybe egg white or some other natural &quot;glue&quot; between the vellum and the ivory? They must have used something back when these were made to keep the image in place though I don&#039;t see any residue left?</p><p><br /></p><p>The wood &quot;box&quot; is currently in pieces and I&#039;m dying to put it back together but I can&#039;t until I figure out what to do with the images since they will float around and split apart and rub against the glass if I don&#039;t attach them somehow.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve learned not to go ahead with repairs until I know I can do it safely - and sometimes that means putting something aside for months or more. The other image has two full cracks with space between and I can&#039;t move the pieces together like I did this one, but I&#039;ll see what I can do to take another picture showing it better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
