Check "Mounting Options for Documents" in the May 2012 issue of PFM. That article describes six ways to mount documents, four of which could show both sides. My favorite technique for 2-sided documents is to use two sets of four rare-earth magnets, as described on page 33.
If this item has significant value, please consider keeping the original in safe storage, and framing a high-quality reproduction. The document in the article was such a reproduction. |

Several thoughts: Can you mat each side (covering 1/4" around)? This would keep the paper away from direct contact with the glass.
Do both front and back need to look finished? If so, you may need to consider a double frame attached back-to-back.
If archival treatment is not an issue, you could sandwich the print between 2 pieces of glass, although I agree with another poster that acrylic might be better. |

Yes to the use of Framespace, it is a very nice product. And consider using acrylic rather than glass. Acrylic will fit into framespace and you will save the artwork from future damage that would be caused by broken glass. |

FrameTek makes a product especially for this called FrameSpace 1/4 double. It holds 2 pieces of single strength glass (like most all Tru-Vue glass) 1/4 inch apart. This allows for archivally framing art between 2 pieces of glass. Contact them for further information. |
