<p>[QUOTE="Greg Anderson, post: 4420865, member: 68141"]sure thing. As to conservation, I have collected etchings, prints, aquatints of antique sporting art for many years including Benson's. From a value perspective, having them professionally cleaned does not detract or diminish their value. If getting cleaned the one thing to keep in mind is that Benson used a variety of paper and getting them cleaned to bone white is not necessarily what the original paper's color was. </p><p><br /></p><p>Greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
