A process and chemical composition for laminating a photograph or lithograph onto canvas are disclosed whereby the resulting product appears similar to an oil painting, as well as providing improved depth. The process involves stripping a photograph or lithograph from a substantial portion of its backing, followed by application of the chemical composition to the photograph. The chemical composition includes a surfactant and an optical brightener such as a fluorescent whitening agent, and can include a sensitizer and stabilizer. The treated photograph or lithograph is then bonded to a textured backing at elevated temperature and pressure.
