How do I hang framed paper art safely?

Keep framed pieces away from direct sunlight to prevent the fading of watercolour pigments and ink. Ensure wall fixings match the weight of the wood and glass structures. Use secure picture hooks rather than simple wire nails to support the timber frames adequately.

What periods do these illustrations cover?

The available selection spans from the eighteenth century through the Victorian and Edwardian eras into the mid-twentieth century. Examples include nineteenth-century caricatures and nineteen-sixties ink studies. Each period utilises distinct paper stocks and printing or painting techniques specific to its decade.

Are these works original or prints?

The inventory includes both original hand-painted watercolours and period printed works. Items range from unique pen and ink studies to published first edition prints. Read individual titles carefully to distinguish between original paintings and historic prints.

How should I clean the glass?

Apply glass cleaner to a cloth rather than spraying directly onto the frame. This prevents moisture from seeping under the edge and damaging the paper illustration. Wipe the wooden frame gently with a dry cloth to remove dust without touching the artwork.
