How A 90-Year-Old Photograph Is Professionally Conserved | Refurbished
The sign "art work under here" really shows how much they care about these pieces of history
I mean it doesn’t have to mean that. There are “this side up” arrows on mail but UPS still seems to screw that up.
i have never seen such a long photo. what cameras they used to use 90 years ago?!
It's likely it was more than one photo negative "stitched" together in a darkroom
I delivered once pizza to the mars chocolate factory on elmwood park,IL
& loved the beautiful long picture of like 1969 just crazy how there was little land to more land little by little
There were special panoramic cameras from the late 1800s onward. One called the Cirkut used large format film, ranging in width from 5" to 16" and was capable of producing a 360-degree photograph measuring up to 20 feet long. Both the camera and the film rotated on a special tripod during the exposure.
I would last hundreds of years too if i was treated like this!
LOL 😂
L0
Brilliant
😂
I love this. More photography restoration please! Perhaps motion picture film and negative/positive conservation!
Imagine working hard to restore a photo and then realizing it’s a 20 year old meme
What do you mean
@@kaitlyncleary3424 I mean like it’s a photo of a meme. Just realized what I said could be kinDa confusing but whatever
@@duo2146 how can it be a meme
@@kaitlyncleary3424 girl bye you dont understand
@@uriel5951 i don't. I don't see how a picture this old would be a meme. Has it gone viral to be a meme?
Such incredible work! I think your abilities are likey very rare and unique! Excellent to learn! The only restoration I've ever don was digitally through Photoshop and then the need to re-print onto new substrate with inks. this is wonderful!
I starred at the thumbnail thinking it was two pictures for comparison but actually one picture combined past to now 😅
Couple of days ago I saw a japanese guy who does the restoration of vintage pictures but in a different way.He uses chemicals instead of using paint and brush.
Maybe it depends on factors such as age, exposure, dirt and type of material?
can you give me the link?
@@Wawa-rm8nu a year ago and still no like that's sad :( I'd like to see that too.
I loved this video so much! It's beautiful to see such a respectful and mastered work. Brought me peace.
"Japanese paper" washi kozo?!?!
Yes probably is lol, it was annoying me too
“Japanese paper.” So…washi kōzo?
0:12 I stared too hard at first and I thought I was experiencing vertigo 😅
For digital conservation/restauration, AI can do a pretty damn good job nowadays. Of course that's not the same thing as restoring a physical picture though!
Well the photo went from Sepia to B/W.
That's a lot of hard work
*Thank you sharing* 😄
Bro stop

*Your sucks grammar* 🌹 ✨ 🌹
stop being wierd 🌹✨🌹
No way you have over 100k, stupid bot.
All the adults there are probably dead, some of those children might be alive, but very old.
Even the youngest boys would be around 100.
Weird feeling no
@@madhurakamat1656 I’ve binge watched the Proper People’s abandoned asylum, mental hospital, and hospital videos. I sometimes can imagine how life use to be there and how horrible or nice their living conditions were. I’m use to that feeling.
If you watch old movies from the 30s and 40s it cool to see how they talked and dressed, and lived.
The music fits well for this
Such a pleasure to watch the process. What a treat!
It really is amazing to see pictures from history
Very calming 😌
This was fascinating to watch the restoration process. Recently, I have been restoring old family photos. Afterwards, I will make a high resolution digital version and attempt colorization of the original. It is surprising how the individuals in the photos come alive in these enhanced versions. This may be of interest to your clients as well to gain a unique perspective on these historical photographs.
damn They are gonna do this to memes in 2111
this belongs in the ASMR category :)
As do most of the videos in this series
the first thing to conserve a photograph is scanning
wow that’s incredible !!
Thanks for sharing this video
100 years later this photo will be restored again.
Very interesting thank you
This 100 years old panoramic picture shows up when I thought panorama came only some years back on iphone.🤦🏼♂️
The twins in the thumbnail took me an embarrassingly long time to make since of.
Awesome!
Does anybody know how much it would cost to conserve a photograph like that one?
I would like to know the answer myself ?
That looks really cool
How would someone frame panoramic photos?
You can buy tools to cut matte and then make a wooden frame. In other words, you have to do it or hire someone to make it for you
How did they take a shot this wide? I doubt they used a lense that was actually that wi6fe?
Mishimoqua
It's likely it was more than one photo negative "stitched" together in a darkroom
Man, this looks so cool!
Honestly, I prefer the before look. Nice that it's flattened though.
I can imagine this costing hundreds of not thousands of dollars
Restoration looks proper relaxin a task!
The good peeps in heaven will be glad to see their photograph restored
Wow. Interesting. Can u do more marine corp videos
Great video
TY 😘
The music tho
It’s the adagio cantabile piano sonata no 8 by Beethoven I believe
I love it. I am not 100% in agreement with the alcohol and water technique. I heard of some mineral oil.
She treated a photo like her own daughter
when you realise photographs were invented almost a 100 years ago-
Ikr
The oldest surviving photograph is almost 200 years old, though.
@@larsiparsii oh wow i didnt know that-
@@larsiparsii that sounded kinda sarcastic but its not
@@brijesh6270 Np, glad to have enlightened your day! 😉 That's why there's pictures of the Titanic, for example.
Wow 😯
Many problems with this conservation process. (1) Prior to cleaning the back of the photograph, the front of the photograph should be at least spot cleaned with a blower (like the Orbit HEPA blower) or spot wet-cleaning on areas with accretions/dirt because the pressure you apply to the back when cleaning with sponges may cause damage or small indentations on the photo if larger surface dirt isn't removed. (2) Water and alcohol is not the greatest solution to use on photographs because water will swell the gelatin. Far better to use something like PEC-12, which doesn't contain water. (3) The strokes used on the photograph during the front-cleaning are atrocious in terms of technique. Abrasion to the photograph can come from two different sources - the cleaning material itself, or the dirt that comes from the photograph itself. Continuing to use long circular strokes when the cotton has already picked up any type of surface dirt risks abrasion to the photograph as you are just dragging the dirt across the surface. Best practice is to replace the cotton swab/PEC-PAD the moment it picks up any dirt. Cleaning photographic surfaces is very time-intensive. This was a lazy way of doing it. (4) The back of the photograph is being cleaned with too many passes. Probably better to use Absorene soot sponge with a HEPA purifier running and a directed fan for ventilation (to disperse any sulfur smell quickly); a couple of passes would have almost certainly have gotten most of that dirt off without abrading the fibers so much. Dust off with Orbit HEPA blower or a clean new soft brush to remove any residue, even if invisible to the eye. (5) Long panoramic photos like these should not have been placed in archival polyester without any backing. 100% cotton-rag buffered museum board should have been placed on the back as a backing. If the client cannot control the humidity in the storage area, then plastic shouldn't have been used at all. Instead, photograph should be stored between two pieces of 4-ply or 8-ply buffered (for the back) and unbuffered (for the front) museum board.
How did I end up here? Very fascinating tho lol 👍
WHY IS THE VIDEO QUALITY SO BAD?!
The photo itself still in good shape though
Ok
its amazing this is a profitable business model.
Yo She's got the Same Last name as me 🤣
Am I the only one who thought the left half of the thumbnail looked better than the right?
So we just going to pretend we can't see that serial killer in the front row?...ight den.
5 minutes craft: just use potatoes.
Or I can just use a machine to scan it then I can photoshop over any tears/rips....etc. And colorize it. :P
You could; but that'd be serving a different goal. This is about the preservation and conservation of an archival piece; I don't think the client would be interested in being given an edited photocopy of their work.
Also: Removing dirt reveals detail that digital image manipulation would have to invent.
We don't have these kind of pictures nowadays and yet we brag about how "advanced" we are lmao we're lame. Btw these pictures should be scanned that helps preserve it longer.
Photograph op
😲😲😲
Woww
Cool
O
Shouldnt she be wearing gloves tho
That's what I thought
Another conservator talked about that, apparently for a lot of things, they need the sensitivity bare hands provide.
Old school photoshop.
2nd maybe
*4th
those kids were probably born around 1915-1920 making them prime age to fight a world war, how unfortunate.
surface cleaning with bare hands smh
i feel like the comments are botted
I thought a 90-year-old woman refurbished an old photograph.
A random person approved of this video
Cool
Hi everyone who comented right now
Hi! 😁
I've checked and that Japanese paper is really expensive, have you tried sticky tape or masking tape, that stuff is also yellow.

Read comedy of coffin on kindle written by Avijit Kabiraj. Introduction : Two unemployed boys were employed by a mafia boss, their job is to bury a dead chef in the criminal's cemetery. The chef is the pasta maker whom the boss accidentally shot dead. The boys were chased by the police, shot by a sniper, rested in a church, kidnapped by an evil doctor, electrocuted, freezed, roasted, couple of ladies didn't spare them, survived the strange graveyard but when they returned after burying the dead chef, found the boss in a coffin...
The video was so badly edited. Too lengthy shots and nothing really happening. I expect to see top notch content on this channel. This was disappointing.
First
All nice and all but who is paying for a couple of weeks of work for an old photo that a few people will appreciate? Probably your taxes.
Ahhh probably collectors
Collectors museums possibly someone who found an old photo of their grandfather in their attic
Its 90 years old. Everyone in that picture is dead. No need to save it.
I do it with colorize.
It's not gray!
I have a good day to
