Hi all...
I just picked up some Daybills and I'm eagerly awaiting their arrival.
I'm curious about framing... I was thinking I would have them all custom framed to match a Star Wars OS I have hanging in my home theater.
If I do that- ideally, I'd love to have them all matted. If I'm matting, can I use glass? or should I still do Plexi- though the matt is going to provide a buffer?
Also, the daybills are in NM condition... do I need to have them linen backed or will the folds be difficult to see if they are framed?
Thanks!
Congrats on the new pick ups, Brian. Can I ask what the titles are? Or are those to be a later surprise?
As far as material for fronting your frames, I think you will find the most will say to use plexi, as it doesnt hold heat like glass does, and, is less likely to cause damage to your poster, on the off chance a frame should be dropped or fall off the wall (no sharp shards to cut into the paper).
As far as linen backing, and with you saying they are "NM", aside from them being folded.. framing will lessen the appearance to a degree. But at the end of the day, it's all about how you want them to look (will seeing any fold lines bother you? Or preferring to have those folds greatly diminished with backing).
