How should I clean glass on old frames?

Wipe the glass gently with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water or mild glass cleaner. Avoid spraying liquid directly onto the frame to prevent moisture seeping beneath the mount. Keep moisture away from the timber edge and the paper behind the glass to protect the historic materials from water damage.

Where is the best place to hang framed prints?

Position these works away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect the paper and watercolour pigments from fading or deterioration. Stable indoor temperatures help preserve the wood frames and card mounts. Choose wall spaces that offer indirect lighting to showcase the detail of engravings and woodblock prints safely.

How do I identify a woodblock print?

Examine the surface under magnification to look for subtle wood grain impressions and hand-applied pigments typical of traditional printing methods. The paper used in these pieces is often soft and absorbent. Japanese examples from the Edo period display distinct publisher marks and signatures within the border of the composition.

What periods do these prints cover?

The selection spans multiple eras, including eighteenth-century engravings, nineteenth-century lithographs, and early twentieth-century illustrations. Each period utilises specific printing technologies and artistic styles. Items range from Georgian maps and Victorian animal studies to Edwardian fairy tale editions and mid-century paintings.
