Third-year WUDPAC Fellow Gwen Manthey and UD art conservation bachelor's degree graduate Jose Lazarte spent this summer at the Western Center for the Conservation of Fine Art, where they had the opportunity to treat a series of murals depicting the history of forestry. The project included the assessment and cleaning of three murals produced under the Works Progress Administration, as well as three companion murals completed by the same artist nearly twenty years later.
