The pictures further down shows a fold in a silver gelatin photograph. Usually folded areas are weak and unstable. In this case for adding strength the Japanese paper was adhered on the back side over the paper support. The hard part of the job was the gelatin layer. There was 1mm thin area overlapped and stacked on the surface. The small part of the image was hidden along the fold. With careful humidifying the gelatin was soften and the small parts of the image were flipped. The gelatin layer was attached in its proper places using wheat starch paste.
