OUR “OLD MASTERS”
NATIONAL TREASURES. ‘sold masters are not immortal, and there is every reason for believing that drastic measures will have to be taken during the next hundred years if many of our finest national treassures are not to be allowed to disintigrate,” writes “Curator” in _ the “Manchester Guardian.” “The issue cannot be evaded indefinitely, and casual restoration here and there under the direction of officials whose terms of office must vary, as must their personal preferences, will not provide a solution. This country possesses treasures of incalculable beauty, and it is inevitable that in time the care and preservation of them must be carried out scientifically. There is an increasing need for a central restoration workshop—an extension, possibly, of the valuable services of the British Museum laboratory. It could and should be funded.” j
