Hi everyone
I've been given the original plans of my house drawn/painted on some kind of fabric and folded up about four times. From what I know about the age of the house, I reckon the plan dates to about 1928. It is quite delicate but not falling apart. I would really love to frame it so I could display it but I'm worried that it would start to deteriorate and/or fade.
I don't know what the material is; it's quite fine and a bit shiny. I don't think it is cotton and I guess it is probably not nylon either; linen maybe. It's mostly black ink but walls and windows are infilled with colour. I would guess it is watercolour.
I'll try the National Museum but they mightn't want to talk to me after I gave out about the Museum of Country Life so much
Thanks
Rebecca
