To be on the safe side we generally ship all orders with some additional white border to give you the option to keep it or remove it yourself. Some customers purchase prints to fit to standard frame sizes, and these frame sizes sometimes require no border, or can also require extra border to fill a mat board. We can only accommodate different frame sizes if you let us know before you order. If this is the case, please specify before you order if you would like a particular sized white border that is in addition to the listed print sizes and we will try to accommodate this for you. Without any special request you may receive a standard size border from us ranging anywhere from 3mm – 50mm (or possibly no border). Please note that all images in this listing are illustrative purposes only, and the images do not indicate the size of the border you will receive or give an accurate representation of their size related to objects in the images. The images also display the print itself as being adhered to the wall, and do not display any of the prints as being mounted, framed or stretched on wood bars. Note: the option ‘Canvas’ refers only to the fabric material that the artwork is printed on. The term ‘Canvas’ does not denote the print is stretched on wood bars or framed in any way. Note: The images found in this listing are for illustrative purpose only, and only give an approximation of how prints may appear on a wall give certain customisations. The images also only show the images as prints themselves unframed, and any resemblance to these prints being framed is unintentional and should not be taken as an indication of how prints will appear on a wall framed or unframed. Best Value Guarantee: We work hard to professionally restore artworks and images, making sure they are historically true to the original. Prints are sent rolled up in a packing tube and can expand or shrink slightly based on humidity levels. Prints sent rolled up will also require sometime to flatten out. Please use the provided gloves and be very careful after receiving the prints as they can scratch easily if you touch the printed surface. As mentioned already, please specify if you would like a particular size white border in addition to your print, otherwise you may receive no white border, or you may receive a standard size border from us ranging anywhere from 3mm – 50mm. All pictures in this listing are for illustrative purposes only and do not intend to indicate any additional services or features being sold that is not contained in this description or item specifics.
