Where it works

Fifty Arhopala oakblues from Seitz's plate 150, bright blue and violet uppersides beside brown patterned undersides, ranked in rows on a pale page. The cornflower blue suits a bathroom, a boy's room or a study at 16×24 in natural wood, beside his Cerulean Blues.

Framing. The label ground is its own mat: a slim black or natural wood frame, no extra mat.
