<p>[QUOTE="PassingThru, post: 9853467, member: 87785"]Everyone's suggestions and comments are much appreciated. The cost is, indeed, "an object" <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />); to put things in perspective, this is not something I had in the family for the past hundred years - I just picked it up a few months ago on FB Marketplace. I don't want to go over the top with having it professionally restored, but, being somewhat "handy" myself, I could DIY (though I know the acronym is scary in itself <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />) some of it, provided I have detailed instructions on how to do it (I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could share some step-by-step procedures relevant to my specific piece - maybe from a museum, etc.). Or, if, as you suggest, it doesn't make any sense to fix the framing issue without having the paper conserved first, I would probably have to pass - I do not feel confident enough to attempt anything with the poster itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
