I'm sure you won't be disappointed, just set aside time to unpack. I don't know why but there's something more exciting about opening a print that's flat packed rather than simply whipping out out of a tube.

Appreciate the pictures pressman now that you have it what are your thoughts on framing.

How about some one gets it in a black box frame with a black mount so I can see what that looks like?

I think like rosac says, it may need a mount over the top. I think the deep bottom border is kind of forcing it to be covered and the proportions to be evened out. That said, I'm a mere amateur so all suggestions are welcome..... How about some one gets it in a black box frame with a black mount so I can see what that looks like? |

Cheap as chips... An 80 something year old artist for only 35 quid :-) I saw that episode and he bought some flags mounted in a frame. The flags and frame were Victorian and quite pop arty in their own right. I bet he has an amazing collection of this sort of stuff. |

I've never understood, nor ever will, why people add mounts when framing prints with borders. The border is the mount. It's completely unnecessary to add any further negative space around the image. |

Perhaps you are correct in that it doesn't need a mount. Although I'm suggesting trying to reduce the size/impact of the white border with a mount, rather than making it look larger... |

Pretty sure Sir Peter has a fair idea of what size border his print needs... I wouldn't mess with it.
I've seen some appalling framing on here where people try to crop off the white boarder of prints and the image has no room to breath.
