What Corey said is spot on. A conservator will need to dehumidify your print (especially if it’s that brittle) in order to make it more pliable/flattened before it is framed. Surface cleaning along with acid free backing may also be necessary with tear repairs being optional. Depending on the condition, you can expect to pay a few hundred to several hundred dollars +. It’s the one thing you learn about 19th century prints. In some instances (or many in my case), you end up paying more for conservation than you do for the actual item. That said, it’s well worth it so you can enjoy it for years to come while limiting further damage.
