Description

Informing him that upon hearing from George Ambrose what had been
happening to the Gallery's panel pictures, he had been down to the
gallery and examined the crack in the 'The Ambassadors' by Hans Holbein
himself. He suggests that the problem is not the amount of heat but the
quality of the heat which they are exposed to and argues there needs to
be more monitoring.
