Framed "Declaration of Independence" Boston Broadside from the Printing Office of Edes & Gill in Boston
Now available in two frame styles. Includes museum-grade acrylic (non-glare, UV-filtering). All made in America. About the frame: 19" x 13". Made in America solid wood frame. About the print: As was the case with the original broadsides, there is variability in ink coverage. As a result, you should not expect the same crisp, consistent ink coverage that we are used to with material printed on modern presses. We use a museum-grade, non-glare acrylic that offers UV-protection. (We do not frame these with a mat. It seems more authentic and less like fine art without a mat.) Important note on care of framed prints: Use a microfiber cloth or similar to remove dust and fingerprints. Do not use household cleaners on the frame or on the acrylic.
