1. Glazing and Framing:

4. Acid-Free Materials:

   • Use acid-free paper and mats. Acidic materials can degrade over time and damage prints.

Main Article: "Caring for Antiques - All prints need protection"

By Nancy Padnos

• Main Points:
  • Prints and drawings should be protected from various environmental factors to prevent damage.

  • Storage: Store prints flat, interleaved with acid-free tissue paper. For long-term storage, use archival-quality boxes.
