Framing Suggestions

For framing, we recommend using a two- to three-inch matte around the poster. In our own offices, we chose to use a red fabric matte on the Iron Cross poster and a blue one on the Blue Max so it gives the impression of a medal ribbon texture. Have the framer match the thin rule around the outside of the posters for best results, going a little deeper blue for the Blue Max lithograph. We then selected a one-and-a-half to two-inch bronze-metal frame that plays off the medal silver. The results are stunning.
