Framing

For this picture, we recommend book-mounting the print in a wide passepartout and framing in a black wooden box. It is widely accepted as the most traditional way to frame photography—especially rare or vintage works—giving visual priority to the image and yet fitting stylishly into most interiors. Other options are of course available. All our frames are handmade by one of the UK's leading framing workshops, and are constructed to museum standards. Please note that prices do not include local taxes, framing or shipping.

Shipping

We aim to ship works that are unframed within 2 weeks, and within 6 weeks for works that are framed. We always aim to get your print to you as quickly as possible! However, please note that the times above may vary depending on the work. For exact timings, please get in touch. All works are shipped from the UK. Please note that prices listed above do not include framing or shipping.
