- Black spots on bronzes were first noticed by Brinck Madsen in 1977 on various objects in european museums. Culture showed the presence of cladosporium fungi. But since these are ubiquitous, Madsen concluded that local contamination by hydrogen disulphide, perhaps from case materials, was more probable, although the possibility of biological corrosion could not yet be eliminated. Gilberg draws attention to reports of attack by cladosporium on metals from 1893 onwards, gives other references, and suggests that microbiological attack is a possibility always to be borne in mind.
