Framing Prints & Drawings
Mounting

Decide how much of the paper/image you wish to see thinking about any signatures and inscriptions &c you may want to include. Consider the width and colour of any window mount (mat /passe partout) you wish to use. If you wish to see the edges of the paper you might consider having the image float mounted with a gap around it and spacers or mount to hold it back from the glass; this will require a deeper moulding or box frame.


Framing
 When choosing  a frame think about the style, period and feel of the image, what you like and what might suit your interior/purpose. Keep it simple. Remember that larger images are going to need stronger frames to support them.


Glazing
 If you are worried about fading or discolouration of the image; UV filtering glass and acrylic is available. If reflections might be a problem modern anti-reflection glass can eliminate  them.


Conservation
Restoration /conservation of prints is usually possible and, expertly done, can produce excellent results.
