I had one professionally restored, lined backed and framed.It is important to
have them linen backed because the old paper deteriorates from time.Also important
to use a nice quality multi ply acid free matting when framing them.Because of how
rare these really are, and they are all dated-I wouldn't let mine go for any less
$ 800-$1000 .These are generally harder to find then the Japan reproductions which
I have depicted under the velvet painting thread.You also want to use UV type glass
when framing to prevent any future fading of the print, if you dont your print will
fade, look like crap and be worthless.
