Can anyone in the UK recommend a supplier for gloves to handle autographed photographs? I am told to source fitted, clean, lint-free cotton or nitrile gloves.
Any thoughts on cotton vs. nitrile? Thanks.

Personally I use cotton lint free. Had no issues.
White cotton gloves can prevent much of the damage to works of art, photographs and negatives which is caused during handling by the chemical reactions of the body oils in fingerprints with the image.
These pure, lightweight, white washable cotton gloves will protect your works of art from fingerprint oils, dirt and chemicals.
