Description
This is the work of Elna Brodie Niccolls. This is a version on which I will say I had to do limited improvements. It was a successive draft of the same picture she had done before and it was fairly even in color. It had few age and storage ripples. To adapt it to publish, I did some perspective correction (moving of lines to make them straight compared to guides in Photoshop), removal of a few shallow wrinkles, signature enhancement, saturating the photo, and spreading and evening of paper and colored pencil grains over newly created spaces in the photo. She had wrapped her work in cellophane and it was stored in among papers which prevented both dust and fading. It was in really good shape. On the whole, I see this as one of her best pieces from a finishing point of view. I've put this one ridiculously cheap so my family members may buy it in the bottom 4 sizes as a mementoe. The bottom 4 sizes are the sizes most frequently bought anyway and suit homes and condos. Often, I have tried to reduce the appearance of manilla paper on the outside. Here, she had yellow pencil crayon making the frame. It is not manilla paper which creates the yellowish tone to her outer paper. For framing, I recommend a canvas museum wrap with a dark brown frame with a pattern of curly Qs that match the interior frame design of Elna's border.
