The canvas is "gallery wrapped" around the heavy duty, 1.5" stretcher bars, with a mirror image, so that there is no loss of the original image on the front.

With gallery wrapped art, the look is contemporary, and framing is optional. I, personally, love the look without a frame.

The inks and canvas used in the giclee process are always archival museum quality, and state of the art. The canvas is UV coated to prevent fading. Wire is added to the back so your art will arrive ready to hang!
