Framing an American Flag Poster from 1942

I had one of our very good clients come in with this gem. She found it in a drawer while cleaning out her mother's house. She believed it was either from her grandparents or was picked up by her parents on their travels. This is a complete calendar of The Rubaiyat by Omar Kahayyam, with beautiful illustrations and poems for each month of the year, tied together with string in a brown and gold cover from 1917. “The Rubaiyat” was first published in March 1859. In this edition, the illustrations were done by Ethel Davis Seal (1885-1965), also known for illustrations of interiors of homes and home decor in publications such as Ladies Home Journal in the early teens into the late 1920's. We designed it to be 4 framed pieces. The first frame shows the cover and title page with the following three each displaying four months. Each page has different illustrations yet it flows beautifully together as a set, using harmonious designs and colors. We floated the pages on Acid free black matting, using museum glass and spacers and finished it with a 23k gold closed corner frame.
