Default Re: Framing lithographs

I got everything sorted with the framer, he was very understanding.

I opted to get a thin mat around the image to assist in stabilisation and do away with the spacer bars and make the frame larger so very little of the actual image is covered. It won't cost me any extra and this way it can be totally reversible.

Thank you everyone for helping me with this to avoid getting my lithograph ruined.

Talking about ruining things...

I remember one particularly horrifying case where the framer decided to cut the white borders (incl. sig) off the lithographs.

At any rate, I know that she cut off the signatures parts so that both images would have equal borders. It gives them a better visual representation when together, and doesn't require enormously large frames. Though, she could have asked me about my opinion before putting a knife in them.
