Oooh, did my earlier enthusiasm get your juices flowing??
I would consult a gallery too, or look in the yellow pages for specialist cleaning services. If it's on paper it might be tricky.
You could also look at bbc.co.uk/antiques. I there's some help on there!
Good luck!

Contact your local art museum or art gallery. Their preservation department does it for a living. They may also be able to recommend a preservationist to take it to.

slap a coat of ronseal quick drying varnish on it.....to protect from humidity.
clean first, with cif, and wire wool.
again, to protect from humidity, you could creosote the frame.
