The Repair Shop
Season 11 Episode 14 of 40
Paper conservator Angelina Bakalarou takes on a portrait from the early 1900s known as a 'crayon portrait'. This popular Victorian technique involved painting over an enlarged photograph, thus avoiding hours of posing for the sitter. An old fashioned Middle Eastern heating device, known as a brazier, and a pottery horse are also restored
The Repair Shop airs on Quest at 9:00 PM, Sunday 22 June. (Subtitles.)
