I bought an antique map for my mom and was wondering what is the best way to frame and preserve it? I figured this forum might have some good ideas. Thanks in advance.

I believe there is a UV coated glass avaliable but as I remember the cost is rather steep. As long as the map isnt exposed to direct sunlight you should be ok with regular glass although when it comes to protecting a valuable document the best you can afford is a prudent investment,and the UV blocking coating,etc. IS extra protection. You might try a Framing shop and see if they either stock the coated glass/shatter resistant glass or know how to go about either obtaining it or even having your piece of glass coated. It is common for telescope owners to periodically send lens and mirrors assemblies or just the components out to be recoated so perhaps if you know any amature astronomers or can contact a local club they might be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck and let us know what you find out! TomLast edited by thomasgeorge; 08-21-2001, 11:10 PM.

by rygoldYes I realise the post is confusing but I would like to make it appear as if a vodka glass has been created out of water droplets (or vodka.) I have seen a few commercials with that look and was wondering if anyone new how to go about it. I'm presuming many passes of the liquify tool? But what else....

by katieDoes anybody know about photos on glass?
We have a client that has a photo that is on glass. It dates back to around 1770. It is deteriorating on the backside and the customer would like to have it restored.
Any information about this type of photo would be great.

by SimoneVOk First let me say hey to everyone.
I have been searching for months on a photograph that I aquired by accident. Or at least I think its a photograph. Its an image/portrait on what I think is milk glass. Then it is painted/colored with Oil paints.
I found many interesting things...-

by Bob WaldenJust received almost 200 5x7 glass negs of historical value. Most are in good shape. Many years ago (30-40) I made prints from glass negs using an enlarger and contact frame. Wondering what's the latest way. Need to digitize and put on disks. Has anyone use a flat bed scanner for this? Any recommendations?...

by MCainI have an old photo in a frame that has the glass broken.
The remaining glass is stuck to the photo.
Does anyone know of a safe way to remove the glass without damaging the picture?
Thanks,
