[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9853434, member: 37"]I agree with this but the OP stated that they wanted to keep the original backing. Agree but, as you suggested, this is a a pretty difficult proposition. It really depends on how much the OP wants to invest into this. If cost is no object, the print itself really needs some conservation, with acid toning from the boards leaching through to the front. I guess I would not go through the trouble and expense to have this conservationally framed without having the print conserved first. The print has survived a lot of years in contact with the glass and will survive more as long as it is kept well. The main problem here is moisture.
