ABOUT CHROMOLITHOGRAPHS (from Wikipedia) Chromolithography is a method for making multi-color prints. This type of color printing stemmed from the process of lithography, and it includes all types of lithography that are printed in color. ABOUT THE MATS All of our prints are professionally matted in a very high quality, and simple off-white/ivory acid free matte with a small bevel. The backing, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE PRINT, also meets the same high quality standard. We take pride in what we sell—look at our feedback. As noted all mats and backings are acid-free and the small piece of tape used to attach the print to the top of the mat is archival artists tape. This print is truly ready to be framed and preserved.Some Comments about Our Mats:Always a wonderful transaction. Will buy again. Awesome Prints & Mats!!!!!Incredible Print. Fab pkg. Rapid ship.
