<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 7546084, member: 79705&quot;]Maybe it&#039;s a trick of the light, but I see that large rectangle around the image as acid damage from a previous mat. A plate impression would include the title portion imo. The frame is also causing damage, which is why the yellowing is darker near the edges. The frame can be kept, but it needs to be taped around the inside with framers tape to prevent any more damage. The &quot;newer&quot; mats currently on it might be acid free, but I&#039;d have to get a better look at them to be sure. A framer could take a look in person and tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>New mats at this size, taping, and mounting are fairly inexpensive. If the glass is replaced with UV resistant, then that can be the larger spend depending on if it&#039;s standard or museum grade. If glass is not replaced, they should be hung where no sunlight will be on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>That Childhood engraving is superb!
