Italian Handmade Glass
Thursday, January 21st, 2010A look at what is currently available on eBay
Will a graphite on ppr (acid-free, I think)drawing, framed w/glass, get damaged in sun, like a ptg. or photo?
It is matted, so the drawing is not touching the glass. I think I used an EBONY graphite pencil. I drew it on the beach in Amalfi. The paper was handmade by an older man in the village of Amalfi, in a paper making shop that looks very old; it feels like a family tradition-type place ( don't know for sure, he didn't speak English, I no Italian). BTW, a charming feature of the paper is the watermark which I'm almost certain is the profile of the paper maker. I would like to hang this framed drawing on a north wall of my apt. in Baltimore. That spot on the wall probably gets 15-20 minutes of afternoon sun, max., per day.I purposely did not hang a large photo there for that reason.
The problem is not the pencil but the paper – even acid-free archival paper will, eventually, be damaged by prolonged exposure to sunlight. 15-20 mins a day will take several years to damage the drawing, until then why not enjoy the drawing where you want it.
