Display Environment

This artifact is produced using archival inks and museum-grade paper stocks and is intended for interior display.

Its survival depends less on vigilance than on the quiet consistency of the space it inhabits.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
  • Maintain a moderate indoor climate
  • Intended for studies, libraries, and stable interior spaces

Framing & Handling

Framing is recommended to preserve both the surface and the character of the restored print.

Archival materials form a quiet barrier—one that separates the artifact from the more careless passage of time.

  • Use acid-free mats and backing
  • UV-protective glazing encouraged
  • Handle unframed prints by the edges with clean, dry hands

Longevity & Storage

Under proper conditions, this artifact is expected to retain its tonal depth and clarity for decades.

Subtle variations in paper texture and tone are not flaws, but evidence of material age and process.

  • Store flat prior to framing
  • Avoid rolling for extended periods
  • Variations are part of the artifact’s character—not defects
