Framing. A slim black or dark wood frame with no mat (black sharpens an engraving, dark wood warms a colour plate), hung at eye level so the plate can be read. Also available gallery-wrapped on canvas, ready to hang with no frame.
Pairing. Hangs alone or as a matched pair; three or more prints are 10% off.
