ABSTRACT

In the local collection the work of the painter and engraver is included only from the record point of view. Smaller water-colours should all be placed in cut-out mounts with a paper cover as for larger ones. They can be set into vertical files, but should be placed first in envelopes or folders, and the remarks about dividers apply specially. The mounting of prints of any value should be by the method suggested for water-colours, and their filing may be much the same. Ordinary photo-process prints which are on art paper do not need elaborate mounts, but these should be of uniform size. It facilitates their display; because a series of frames can be made with moveable backs which can be used to exhibit a frequently-changed series of drawings or prints.
