The Art of Preserving & Conserving
Early 20th Cenutury Prints
by Michael Ivankovich

This 30-page eBook will show you in text and photographic detail The Art of Preserving & Conserving Popular Early 20th Century Prints. When most early 20th century prints were originally sold in the early 1900's, the adverse effects of the acidic mat boards and backing papers weren't fully understood and few ever thought that America would be actively collecting them more than 100 years later. Prints by Maxfield Parrish, Bessie Pease Gutmann, R Atkinson Fox, Philip Boileau, Harrison Fisher, and other such artists simply weren't intended to last this long. Condition will be the key to the long term value of popular early 20th century prints and this eBook will help you to understand the enemies of these prints. Some problems you simply cannot control. But most problems are quite controllable…if you know what to look for. This eBook will show you how you can protect your early 20th century prints against these timeless enemies.
