I suggest using WEST system epoxy, available from marine suppliers.  I
used
to use it on my wood boats, and it is amazing stuff. Withstood a

on one of my boats.  It's been in use for about 40 years.

Decorated papers may also be protected by spraying with lacquer, matt or
not, or even coating with a thin solution of PVA and water.  I learned
that
trick from a teacher of illustration years ago.  We used tempera (awful
stuff) for our work, then covered with the PVA solution when dry to make
them look like oil paintings.  This was before acrylics, so you can
tell how
old I am.
