This Edwards’ Desiccated Soup poster measures an impressive 3 × 2 meters and was originally produced in five separate panels. Due to poor storage, it suffered from typical age-related damage: surface dirt, tears, and—most critically—heavy wear and breaks along the fold lines. The conservation work focused on stabilizing the fragile areas, repairing tears, and treating the fold damage so the sheet could be safely handled again. The most demanding part, however, was accurately reassembling all five panels: aligning the joins so that the image, lettering, and overall geometry matched perfectly, without forcing the paper or introducing new tension. Now the poster is structurally sound, visually unified, and ready for safe display.
