Picture Framing Guide

Custom framing is more than a frame: materials, glass, mounting, proportions and preservation affect look and protection. Friedman's Picture Framing Guide explains materials, methods, choices for photographs, original artwork, canvases, memorabilia, textiles or something unique.

These resources can help you better understand your options before making a decision
