The print is available in three formats. The paper version is printed on heavy archival paper and prepared for a clip frame or a custom frame. The framed version arrives ready to hang, behind shatter-resistant acrylic — lighter and safer than glass. The canvas version is printed on satin-coated cotton and stretched over a wooden frame.
