The paper describes the analysis methods and results) of samples removed from 11 textiles dated between 1912 and 1990. Morphological examination was by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) elemental analysis via energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), using a scanning electron microscope integrated with an energy dispersive spectrometer system (SEM-EDS). Wavelength dispersive analysis (WDS) enabled the thickness of coatings to be estimated.
