Assessments:

• The mounting of the poster was done with spray glue, which has left some damage to the poster.

• With no glass to protect the poster it will remain vulnerable to damage.

• One of the longer sides of the original frame has a broken section.

• The original frame has no rabbet to hold the artwork to the frame properly.

• The frame sections are not glued or adequately fastened together.

Solutions:

• We did duplicate the original poster so it could be reprinted on canvas which would protect against damage.

• Either original or duplicate should be remounted properly to new foam core.

• With no glass the canvas duplicate would be less vulnerable to surface damage.

• A rabbet could be added to hold the art properly in the frame.

• The broken section of the frame can be stained to blend with the original finish and put at the top of the frame assembly..

• The frame sections can be glued and joined properly.
