Will my antique print deteriorate? Today our newspapers are printed on paper made from wood pulp which is very acidic. This causes the newspapers to degrade quickly. In the 1800’s, however, they were printed on a sturdy paper made by pulping linen rags from discarded clothing and ship sails. The linen pulp was not acidic. For the antique print collector, this means your print could remain as it is today for many decades, if handled properly. When you purchase a print item from us, you will receive information for safely preserving and/or framing your antique print. Are those odd lines on the image a defect in the print? Antique wood-engraved prints often have faint vertical or horizontal lines. Rather than a defect, the lines are a fascinating historical artifact of the popular wood-engraving process employed in the 19th century. Who are you?
