    We bought this original antique, John William Godward print years ago from an antique dealer and I would be very grateful if someone could help me with some advice. I have searched the internet and know that his paintings go for allot of money but have not been able to find any old signed prints.

    It is still in it's original frame.

    Firstly what sort of print is it and I realize with it being a print this is not going to be worth allot of money! but as you can see it is suffering badly from foxing, my dilemma is it worth me spending the money on it and getting it restored, or should I just keep on enjoying it as it is.

    Thank you for looking.

      VERY NICE, I don't know the value of it restored or unrestored and if the difference would be cost effective, but if it were mine, I'd Hang this on my wall and enjoy it as is. This is a really neat print. LOVE it

      I cannot say weather to restore or not, but you should certainly get it to a archival framer and have the wood backing removed and replaced with something proper or the foxing and damage will continue.

      Gorgeous ! I would get it professionally reframed with acid free matting keeping the original wood back with label . I think they could probably get spots of with an artist eraser . But stunning as is :-) Love it !

      One can tackle the foxing if they are pacient . Lemon juice applied with a cotton bud to very small areas. Not whole mark and indifferent parts of the print so as not to get it too wet and distort.

      This is beautiful. I just bought 2 Art Noveau prints at an auction - I will post them up for you to see. You have a wonderful item regardless of whether you decide to restore or not. I have started to research my pieces so may come across yours too!

      I love the print, Study of Campaspe, definitely worth putting some effort into restoring, just need to try and arrest the foxing to stop it getting worse. A rare piece especially with the signature. Good luck sorting it out!!
    19. inky inky, 12 years ago
      Many thanks Kitty!..I didn't want it to deteriorate more over time if it had been worth the cost of restoring, I always thought that maybe because it was signed it might have been, I just needed to make sure, if it wasn't I can still enjoy as is, it is lovely! Thank you once again......:-)

      Worth restoring by a good paper person. Anything signed from the period and of this size and beauty would be worth it, in my opinion. But, I guess the decision for you should rest on whether you intend to resell it or not.
    24. inky inky, 12 years ago
      Thank you very much lisa and cogito for your comment and advise, it's appreciated I will enquire into the cost.

      Dear Inky,
      What every advice you listen to, contact a house like Bonhams before proceeding. Maybe my post is too late, but this is a rare find, and deserves great care. Regards, Kirk
    36. inky inky, 8 years ago

I still have not done anything to it and is still in the same state as I posted over four years ago...I shall try and see if I can contact Bonhams as you advised and see what they say..it is at this movement packet away as we are finishing off our new built home...thank you once again..very much appreciated...Penny...:-)
    37. Artistinside Artistinside, 8 years ago

      Hi Inky, Long time no see and, this post was done so long ago, hope you still have it. I think it's just awesome. If you do still have it, you can go to you tube and look up or just type in her name. She is fab and knows so much about everything!!! And don't let anyone tell you that a print is not valuable, you might be very surprised!!! Anyway, type in Dr Laura even if it's just google. She does evaluations also and this lady knows her stuff!!! I was just admiring all you gorgeous glass collection when I came across this . I hope you get my message here! xoxo
