This nice image of Hurricane Hugo off the Battery in Charleston was brought into Elite Framing recently. It was in poor shape, wrinkled and discolored. We trimmed the offending side parts off the poster and matted it in grey scale mats. We vacuum mounted the poster to eliminate (or, at last, minimize) the wrinkling in the paper.
