This is a very late reply. But I work with a paper conservator and from passed informantion I would suggest that the paper is treated by a paper conservator as they would introduce moisture and press it and then mount (support)it on acid free board with hinges which can easily be reversed by moisture in the future. It should not be mounted directly onto blocks as it may not be able to support itself. Also it should not be restrained as a normal uncontrolled environment will cause the paper to cockle in time. If it is paper it would also be treated quite differently to canvas. So I would suggest you contact a specialist. I have paper and easel conservators I could ask if more of a description is given.
