Paint
=Panel No. 9--Orange Mineral.= In excellent condition, showing a good
firm surface with no checking or corrosion apparent. Shortly after
exposure the film became covered with a white coating of carbonate of
lead, which indicates action of the red lead with the carbonic acid of
the atmosphere. Removal of this white coating with water discloses the
brilliant color of the unaffected portion of the red lead.
=Panel No. 10--Red Lead.= In same condition as Panel No. 9.
=Panel No. 12--Bright Red Iron Oxide.= In general good condition. Film
intact and unfading in color.
=Panel No. 14--Venetian Red.= Similar to Panel No. 12, but slight
corrosion apparent beneath, in localized spots, and film showing slight
wart-like formations.
=Panel No. 15--Prince's Metallic Brown.= Similar to Panel No. 14.
=Panel No. 16--Natural Graphite.= Deeply pitted in spots, showing
bulbous eruptions, indicating the stimulative nature of this pigment.
=Panel No. 17--Artificial Graphite.= In same condition as Panel No. 16.
=Panel No. 19--Lampblack and Barytes.= Although the film seems to be
intact, there are apparent abrasions of the surface showing stimulative
corrosion effects of a pronounced nature.
=Panel No. 21--Carbon Black and Barytes.= In same condition as Panel No.
19.
