Subject: Cradle for displaying fore-edge paintings
A colleague recently contacted me regarding information for a cradle design for exhibiting books with fore-edge paintings. I've never designed such a cradle and wonder if anyone knows of a design or a commercially available cradle that would serve this purpose? I'd also like to hear from anyone who has exhibited fore-edge paintings to learn if the books showed any signs of physical distortion after they came off display. Thanks very much in advance for your help.
