In the absence of a photocopier and scotch tape, old documents were repaired.
Sometimes within an inch of their lives.
This one is held together with old labels.
Other repairs were made with sealing wax, paste and paper, and even scraps of silk.
... and I am resisting steaming those labels off for repurposing!
I think this looks really cool! I may have to copy the technique for some of my old documents.
