23. …. whatever you can tell me about caring for it.
Where do you recommend placing any documentation I wish to keep w/it- inside
framing or attached to outside? I add a plastic archival sleeve with the info taped to the back
Am I correct that it would be preferable to keep it in moderate temperatures . (Air conditioned house)
& hanging where it does not get direct sunlight? YES, any light or heat it experiences will fade it more. It should hang on an indirectly lit wall.
