We recently framed several historical pieces for the UC Berkeley chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Among the items framed was a very small "Dance Card" booklet, from a 1921 formal dinner and dance hosted by the fraternity. The fraternity wanted to preserve the booklet while displaying its pages. We suggested scanning and printing out the book pages, including them in a multiple opening mat. The booklet is sewn to the acid free backing with invisible filament, and recessed inside a box. The matting was decorated with a gold pin-drawn design element, a printed title, uv filtering glass and black wood frame with a gold lip. See detail below. |
