there are only a few commitments and purchases that are intended to last an entire lifetime. Cars break down; homes need repair; furniture requires upkeep. Yet, in nearly every home, there is at least one picture that is in its second or third generation of being displayed, outlasting its purchaser by many years.

But conservation frame may be capable of prolonging the print's life.
