Cyndie Lack, a paintings conservator is trying to find information on
the notation found on the inside of a tacking edge of a canvas, from a
1938 painting.
The stamps says TICKEN CANVAS. Prepared by Winsor & Newton, Ltd.
London, England.
The canvas was suppled and prepared by Winsor & Newton and sold though
an artist's supply retailer in Montreal (C. R. Crowley) Winsor &
Newton did not put the Ticken stamp on the canvas, Crowley did.
Does anyone have a definition for TICKEN canvas? The British artist's
supplier part of the National Portrait Gallery website seems to use the
term as a synonym for canvas, but Cinda wondered if it has a more
specific meaning.
Thanks for the help.
