<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LarryW, post: 983410, member: 12253&quot;]That painting was squeezed into the frame that coved up the Magdalen image. That&#039;s why its bent and you cant read it. It was not original to the frame. I got that out and the writing on it that is bent says&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Little Sweethearts</p><p>Academy Edition</p><p>Family Herald and Weekly Star Montreal Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is one of these prints.</p><p><a href="http://www.artoftheprint.com/artistpages/weekly_star_littlequeenie.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.artoftheprint.com/artistpages/weekly_star_littlequeenie.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.artoftheprint.com/artistpages/weekly_star_littlequeenie.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and that image was made in 1896 and was in front of Magdalen. I think the Magdalen picture got wet, and the owner decided to re use the Frame and squeezed in the Little Sweethearts print and instead of trashing Magdalen, they just left it in the frame to cover and protect the back of the new print. Just a theory.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, so new photos in the direct sunlight with the print out from behind the glass and frame. I did put paper behind the picture to protect it from further rubbing against the wood backing. Its just layed over the top of the print though so its easy to remove by hand. It has extensive water damage on the reverse. The obverse is much better. I included a picture of one of the tears so you can see the contents or texture of how the paper was made. Some parts may be brittle now. Too scared to bend anything. I have to very carefully lift this out, don&#039;t want to extend any of the tears on it or break any off it off. I will leave this out of the frame for now so I don&#039;t have to constantly take it out and put it back in. If there is any special spot it needs to be photographed, let me know. Its out of the frame right now, maybe for a few days. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]205484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205488[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205492[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205493[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
