Why a display
press?
The owner of a book with a Fore-edge Painting is indeed a fortunate
fellow, however the book must expect some rigorous handling.
Until recently, collectors and dealers wishing to display their
Fore-edge Paintings have had little choice but to stand and hold their
books. For exhibitions and fairs such frequent flexing could prove
damaging, especially if the book is old or tender.
The press has been developed to display a fore-edge painting with the
minimum possible strain to the binding.
How to use the press
The principle is simple. Fan the book
to show the painting at its best, then nip just the pages between the
upper and lower bridges. The hinges endure little or no strain and the
book can be safely displayed for short periods.
The specifications
Presses
are made from fine quality seasoned and varnished hardwood with brass
fittings and a felt base. They are designed to be easily
dismantled for
convenient packing, but very stable when assembled.
A clear plastic screen can be slotted over the fanned painting to give
protection from handling, dust and sunlight.
