Updating Old Prints

Art framer Yolanda Marshall shares some advice for updating old prints.

Stabilize a rickety frame by re-gluing the corners and letting them dry in a vise. Insert two brads (very thin finishing nails) at the top and side of the corner (see photo), making sure they don’t touch each other.
If you have an old print with deckle-edged paper, try matting the print by placing it on top of the mat board instead of underneath it. This highlights the beauty of the deckled edge.
