Just finished an interesting framing project about Surgeon Major General Sir John By Cole Reade, KCB. (What does KCB mean, you aks? Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Bath )
Our client had a photograph of Sir Reade (which we had lovingly reproduced by Janice of LUX), 7 medals dating from the late 1800's and early 1900's, and a plaque.
Our new acquaintance, Mr. Louis Grimshaw of Kingston, http://www.grimshaw-military.on.ca/) cleaned up the medals beautifully and "Court Mounted" them (which he tells us is most likely how Sir Reade wore them when in attendance in Queen Victoria's Court. (http://goarticles.com/article/Court-Mounting-and-Swing-Mounting-Medals/2083240/).
So here is the finished product!
