<p>[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4521024, member: 60629"]Laura, are you sure that the back you see isn't just a supporting backer board? If this painting is post 1850's I bet the actual artist's millboard may be under the backer. See section 2.3.2:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://cool.culturalheritage.org/jaic/articles/jaic38-01-003.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cool.culturalheritage.org/jaic/articles/jaic38-01-003.html" rel="nofollow">https://cool.culturalheritage.org/jaic/articles/jaic38-01-003.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Since this is a relatively small painting it would have been much easier for a late Victorian artist to buy a prepared millboard or academy board than to build something custom. Millboard thickness and composition varied so the actual millboard may be relatively thin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
