With 99% probably, it says: COWEN & WARINGS / Newly Invented / CAOUTCHOUC / INDIA RUBBER CANVAS as per the "British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers’ marks. Part 2, A to D", page 12, in PDF, published by the National Portrait Gallery. EDIT: "caoutchouc" is "rubber". In Spanish, the word is "caucho" (which bares more similarities with the original Quechua "kawchu" word)

If it indeed was "Waring" in singular with a 'S, then it'd be great if you could submit a correction to the National Portrait Gallery so they amend it.

There's an article you may find interesting by Pascal Labreuche in the march 2011 edition of "Studies in Conservation". Article titled " India Rubber Painting Grounds in Britain & France in the 19th century". You can request a full copy from the author.

Good find! I'm sure the stamp says "India Rubber". Anyone who's ever had the electrics redone in a properly old house might have heard the term "VIR" or Vulcanised India Rubber, which was used for wire insulation before PVC became a thing. Horribly brittle stuff after well over half a century.

@Elwingish 3 ай бұрын

They were not intended as feminine outfits. Girls wore different outfits and hairstyles; both wore skirts, because it was convenient for reasons of potty training and hygiene, and at a certain point (the age varied a lot) boys were "breeched". More on that here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeching_(boys)

Getting serious "flour sack" vibes from the blue stripes. In late 19th/early 20th century America, rural folks would make dresses and other clothes out of them.

Baumgartner just recently had to fight a very damaged face where the issue was, when does he go from "touching up" (editing) into "painting" (creating new material)? I fear that when it comes to the touching up, you'll be having similar issues. MAYBE there will be stray dots of original color on the cheeks still around from which you'll be able to interpolate what the face looked like originally. I hope so! In any case, this will be fascinating.

Hi, the same blue stripe used to be woven into the edge of old pillow and mattress tickings. As far as I remember it warned one not to wash them. Before the downproof striped fabric was introduced it was a lighter weight plain stuff. ( I helped my Grandmother turn an old goose feather mattress into pillows when very small.) I am looking forward to how this little chap progresses..Keep up the good work.

@KaloCheyna 3 ай бұрын

the reason why you wouldn't want to wash ticking: it's a very tight weave fabric, and is usually starched or otherwise stiffened to minimise holes and prevent feathers/stuffings from working their way between the fibres. If it's not a ticking, stripes on one end of a sheet can help orient them properly, especially if they're mostly-square but not quite.

@sherry-lynnzwaan1432 3 ай бұрын

Absolutely ticking! Good catch from all of us who recognized it. It was probably one of the strongest light fabric available.

I thought I’d found gold when I saw we had another restoration channel, but then all the mouth noises started coming into play right away, and I just cannot do it. I have an issue with swallowing and mouth breathing. It drives me up a wall and it’s like nails on a chalkboard. Oh my God, I don’t know what type of recording system Julian has set up, but it is aces, and the way that he speaks softly does his background music you might as well be watching a spa video it’s so relaxing, but this guys background is the echo all the mouth breathing and swallowing it, just ruins the watching ability for me. it’s sad because I really wanted a secondary channel to watch but I just can’t. 😢😢😢

I always enjoy watching these, but the location where you record your voice overs has so much background noise. With headphones on, it reminds me of the old KZbin videos that were positional sound demonstrations (like the "Virtual Barber Shop"). There has been more than one occasion that I turn around, thinking someone has come into the room or made a sound only to realize it's from the video. It can be unsettling when you are the only person in the house. 😆

Tells you how poor these painters/restorers were. They had to employ gunny sack of mattress tick for a lining. But in our days we have had the same sort of problem with modern paintings that, in the case of a few Dutch painters, were painted on jute sacks or wood that is not sufficiently weathered etc. At least this has been documented so future restorers don't need to guess.
