The questions I was asked were:
1: do the larvae of moths or butterflies eat paper?
2: he thinks he has got rid of them, but is fairly paranoid about residual
eggs, etc., and worries about a repeat problem - what (if anything) is safe
to put near the prints? eg Mothballs, etc.... Would anti-moth/bug compounds
damage the silver, platinum and cyanotype prints he makes?
I KNOW this sounds really daft, but I promise it isn't a joke - this really
happened! I saw one of the bugs today at his house, and it had an evil grin
on its face.....
Paper experts and others, I would appreciate some advice which I can pass
on to a photographer who, when I saw him, was close to tears as (he thinks)
he sees the possibility of 20 years work going down the tubes......
