Cloth Linen
Best way to preserve and duplicate an old linen photograph?
My grandmother has an old (1900s) piece of linen cloth with a picture of her parents on it. It is currently folded up inside a manila envelope. I’m looking for ways to preserve it, duplicate it, and possibly present it in an appropriate frame. The photo itself is a bit larger than 8×10, with an extra two inches of linen as a border. The picture is still in good condition, but the linen has creases in it running across the photo. Professional assistance is not out of the question — I just don’t know where to look for these types of services.
Start by getting an archival envelope or box like this http://www.archivalmethods.com/Product.cfm?Productid=78&categoryid=6 .
Look for a professional photo copy and restoration service. The reason for going to a pro is copying a linen print requires soft diffused lighting and a good judge of how the light is interacting with the print surface. It’s something that requires the right equipment and experience.
