David Chandler, Chief Conservator of Works on Paper
"The restored photo of my dad's ship arrived yesterday and I gave it to him today. It looks fantastic and Dad was overcome with emotion when he saw it. It will hang on his wall for the rest of his life. My sincere thanks to you and the "magicians" on your team. What they did to the photo is incredible. You guys are the best: you know it and now I have an additional (now personal) testimony when I speak with folks about CCC." - Private Client, August, 2007
