Many Mumbai families treasure one or two irreplaceable black-and-white portraits from iconic mid-century studios—perhaps a grandparent’s wedding portrait mounted on embossed cream cardboard, or an ancestral framed photograph on the living-room wall.
Why Glass-Framed Wall Portraits Need Careful Digitization
In humid cities like Mumbai, photographs pressed directly against frame glass without a mat board spacer often stick partially to the glass over decades. If a portrait is stuck to glass, never pry it off—we can scan through clean glass on a flatbed with controlled optical focus and digitally remove reflections and spots via old photo restoration.
Why You Should Never Laminate Vintage Photographs
Hot plastic pouch lamination is irreversible: the heat and adhesive yellow over time and cannot ever be separated cleanly. Instead, create a 600–1200 DPI archival soft copy first, print fresh copies for framing, and store the unlaminated original safely in dry acid-free sleeves.
