How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Ormond Gigli print places a figure in a controlled beam of light and extracts every possible tonal value from that single setup. Gigli was one of the most technically inventive fashion photographers of his generation — his 1960 Girls in the Windows is among the most reproduced fashion photographs ever made — and this Girl in the Light print shows the same precision applied in a completely different register. Fashion photography art that uses light as its primary subject as much as the figure. This Ormond Gigli print is black and white portrait work at its most architecturally precise.
Gigli understood light as a graphic element rather than a neutral condition, and this vintage fashion print reflects that understanding completely. The image is controlled, composed, and formally complete — 1967 fashion photography art that holds up as fine art under any reading.
