Existing now for nearly a century, the MacSwiney Club of Jenkintown, PA was named in honor of Terence MacSwiney (1879 – 1920), Irish patriot, statesman, and martyr. This vintage 78 RPM record holds a Speech given by Éamon De Valera (President – Republic of Ireland) eulogizing MacSwiney, who died after a hunger strike in Brixton Prison, London. We’ve archivally displayed this piece of history in a traditional black panel wood profile from Fotiou, matting from Crescent Brands and 99% UV filtering acrylic from TruVue.

Irish artist and graphic designer Fergus O’Neill hopes to sell 42 billion of his screen print posters, pledging one euro from every sale to halve Ireland’s banking crisis debt. He says of the project: “the bid to sell 42 billion of these posters may seem absurd but it can be deemed no more absurd than the outrageous practices and policies that landed us here. There is little we can do except be ourselves and get on with it.” This poster advertising the Poolbeg Generating Station in Dublin is archivally presented in a matte white moulding from Studio’s “Poems I” collection with Bainbridge matting and Tru Vue Conservation Clear glass.

One of our clients recently brought in this brittle, broken newspaper article that was over one hundred years old! Because of the shape it was in, we wanted to make sure it wouldn’t degrade further, so we stabilized it by lining the back with Filmoplast R – an involved Conservator’s technique. In this completely archival method, the whisper thin Japanese tissue was cut just a bit smaller than the newspaper, then bonded in our heated vacuum table. We then float mounted the documents for the final presentation – a design that includes a moulding from Larson Juhl’s “Ansley” collection, matting from Crescent and Bainbridge and Tru Vue Museum glass.
