  1. Justin, I just acquired a paper print of a painting by Frank Vinin Smith who was a prominent marine artist. I'm just guessing about the prominent because on googling him I find that the original of my print is on the market for $9000. So I would like to preserve this print and would very muke like it if you could give me some pointers. It has been folded in the middle it has several tears 

    . it measures 28 w by 22h. I think the print is around 70 years old.I can send a picture or two if that would help, Thanks in advance for any help.  Bill

      Heres a couple pics. While messing around with this pic I noticed that my uncle had lightly drawn a grid on the print in order to paint his own copy. We have a couple of other paintings that he copied in this manner back in the 50s when it was a popular thing to do in our little community in north central Montana.

      Justin, I have been poking around the internet and found copies of this painting at a poster store for as little as $12. Now my motivation to preserve it has diminished somewhat. It was my uncles and therefore sentimental but now Im not sure I want to invest a lot of time. The paper its on is not that great in quality so that's another question. If anything I would like to get a copy on canvas for a good copy. Never the less I will still send a pic. Thankyou for your reply. Bill.
