'Preserving: Eggs to be preserved whole in the shell should be clean
and dry, but do not wash them as the shell is porous and this
practise can cause disease. Instead, wipe them with a damp cloth and
then a dry one. You can then rub them with buttered paper or liquid
paraffin so that all air is excluded and they will keep for six
months or longer.'
Butter or soft beeswax would certainly have been available in period,
for the anti-oxygen sealing...
Now, can anyone document any of these, beyond "common sense"??

I wonder if wax covered eggs is how Ukrainian Easter eggs got started?
