Caricature of Edmund M. Cameron (after treatment)

Eddie Cameron (1902-1988) was a major part of Duke athletics from 1926 to 1972. The University Archives holds nearly 14 linear feet of his records, including three large scrapbooks. One of the books does not retain its binding and, during treatment, a large, folded drawing was found at the bottom of the box. After testing the inks for solubility, the poster was placed in a humidity chamber for several hours and then moved to a stack of wool felts to press for several weeks.
