    Hi,
    Had a friend that spent a fortune on having a print archived. It still developed a slight brown tinge around the edges. It seems the company that did the work, forgot something. I took it apart and the inside edges of the frame where the glass sat was raw wood. I varnished the raw wood and cleaned the print. It is very stable now.

    Googling the address I found this information
    "Goupil & Co., the London branch of the Paris-based art dealership Goupil & Cie, was located at 17 Southampton Street in the 19th century. The painter Vincent van Gogh worked here.[9]He arrived on 19 May 1873 to work for the manager Charles Obach.[10] From August of that year while working here, he lived at 87 Hackford Road in Brixton, south London."
    "
    • London
    Established by Ernest Gambart. 17Southampton Street. Moved to 25 Bedford Street, Strand in 1875 when Goupil & Cie took over Holloway & Sons and their salerooms.[4] Goupil's manager in London was at this time Charles Obach."

    So it is at least pre 1875.

    That company worked with Vincent van Gogh.
    Fancy!
