Rhode Island 1884 buying CLAM BAKE CLAMBAKE Church Pastor Cook Children on Beach Food Antique Engraving Professionally Matted Ready to Frame Print

This is an antique, bevel-matted engraving, from an old newspaper, FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER, published in 1884. The prints in this series are printed on what is called rag paper, an antique paper that is stronger and far more enduring than the newspaper we know today. The print is matted in an off-white acid free matte and is backed by a black acid free back-board which is NOT ATTACHED TO THE PRINT, but which should be kept with the print when framed. (Note: In some of the pictures the matte may appear to be tinted blue or pink. That is my camera. The mats in this series are off-white. )

About The Mats

All of our prints are bevel matted in a very high quality, simple off-white/ivory matting. The backing, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE PRINT, also meets the same high quality standard.
