Robert, The original proofs are on India paper which is very delicate and was mounted to card stock as proofs. I don't know what was used to glue them down and if I soak them I risk floating the India paper free and possibly ruining the proofs. I think they should be left as is unless someone knows a full proof way to remove them without damage. Mike |

I may trim them so I can mount them on appropriate pages with the issues they represent. |
