Parchment Poster
how would i decorate a project with a 19th century theme?
it's on a poster board and it's about a specific person who lived in the early 19th century. so far all i can think of to do is try to make the paper my information about him will be written on (not the poster board, a separate piece of paper i am gluing on) look like old parchment by crumpling it up. also i am making the font in 19th century style cursive. i have certian things that have to go on the poster such as his picture and a timeline of his accomlishments, but i'm really just asking if you have any ideas about decorations or colors i can use to make it look better.
thanks for answering 
I googled 198th century backgrounds and found dozens of pics that you could use as example to decorate your backboards.
