A client brought in five full newspapers from the day of the historic headlines. We cut the front page along the side seam and mounted it on acid-free black mounting board (words from opposite side won't show) and matted with a single acid free black mat and put into matching beveled black frames, all under Conservation Clear Glass with 99% UV protection. Designed to have all five frames the same height, yet different widths due to sizes of newspapers. We folded the remaining newspaper and place inside of cellophane bag and slid into envelope pocket on back of frame.
