Default cabinet preservation

Posted By: davidcycleback

At 8x10" it's an imperial cabinet (larger version of the cabinet).

Cabinets and such are pretty durable and you to do something to them to damage them. If it's expensive I wouldn't display it, but if you wish to an experienced frame shop can make you a custom frame with acid free materials and UV resistant glass. A good frame shop knowns what it is doing and likely has framed antique photos before. Avoid displaying it in bright sunlight.

I have seen cabinet cards matted and displayed in the Seattle Art Museum.
