[LargeFormat] Mounting Large Prints

[Jim Hemenway]

Alan:

For what it might be worth, I dry mount everything and have been doing
so with no problems since 1960.

I used only museum quality rag mattboard for most of that time,  The
very early prints mounted on ordinary mattboard are still ok but the
mattboard is beginning to crumble.
