Care of "Parchment Documents".
These replica documents are hand finished and antiqued on genuine parchment paper. Scribes of yesteryear preferred parchment for its durability -- and these documents are no less rugged. Wrinkles and variations in color are typical of parchment and are to be treasured as one-of-a-kind marks of an original.
To prepare these documents for display, simply iron away any unwanted creases or wrinkles using an ordinary clothes iron set as 'Medium Heat'.
The following are Photos of the Documents you will be receiving, they are replicas of the Original Documents scaled down from their original size so that they may be framed and enjoyed by all.
These are my photos of the actual Documents you will be receiving. Please note my camera and your monitor may or may not show the actual color or shade of the documents.
The documents do however have the appearance and texture as old parchment documents would appear and feel, these documents are truly an awesome American History must have.
