Hello everyone, I don't know where I can ask this question, but thought someone here might be able to help. My FIL wants to seal up a picture of my MIL in the entombment (correct word?) area with her so that if it's ever opened up again people will know what she looked like. He wants the picture to last a very long time and would like to know how to preserve the picture for entombment? I don't think I've run across this topic before. So any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Kathy

Why not have your FIL look at the possibility of a ceramic painting? A competent artist should be able to paint a portrait (from a photograph) onto a ceramic base, then have it glazed and fired to permanently seal the painting. Ceramics will last for 1,000's of years (they found ceramics in perfect condition under the ashes of Pompeii, I believe.
