Silks frame
Billy, all I can say is what a bargain and what a fabulous family group of cards.
How nice of the man at the front to find silk embroidered cards for all the family, he looks like a Kings Royal Rifle, but I may be wrong.
As for doing up the frame and re-mounting, that's for you to decide, I would leave it as is, after all it's been like that for the best part of 100 years.
The only thing I think I would do if possible, is remove the backing sheet carefully and photograph the messages on the cards, this may bring out more of the history of the family.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful item with us and all I can say is well done!
Regards Rob
