More advice please

I have a photograph of my grandmother c1906 or so - printed on silk and still in original "mahogany" frame   My Uncle was in the Merchant Navy early 1900s and did the Far Eastern runs - so had it done there.

Unfortunately the glass was broken a long time ago - so obviously the silk will be dusty and there is a little tear in the fabric.

Is it possible to get this fixed by a restorer anywhere - does anyone know?

Hi suec45,

All newpapers keep an archive of every copy they have ever printed.  A local paper I once worked for had an Archive back to 1723 when it was founded.

When I was in the newspaper industry,  they used to sell back copies in mint condition if you want the whole paper, if not all you have to do is ask for a better copy from the archive.  I am sure that you will be able to get it.  It was expensive in the 50's though so be prepared to pay for it.

Hi History Nut 

You will probably get a better respose if you post your question on a new thread, and mention in the subject box that you need restoration advice.

Alternatively you could look here and see if the subject has already been covered -

Good luck!!

Hi

many thans for info - I only joined rootschat three nights ago - so not used to it all yet - having said that - I posted my first question on WW1 or something similar - and within  twelve hours two of the regulars had helped me locate some records and passed on their sound advice - so looks as though I will enjoy it.

Thanks again
