Our original design incorporates historic elements, including the eagle, shield, arrows, and laurel branch and phrases from memorials to the events of April 19, 1775.
Size: 19" x 13"
About the paper weight and printing process: Printed in the US on fine art grade 100% cotton rag, acid-free archival paper with archival inks.
About the frame: Made in America solid wood frame in a black finish.
We use a museum-grade, non-glare acrylic that offers UV-protection. (We do not frame these with a mat. It seems more authentic without a mat.)
Important note on the care of framed prints: Use a microfiber cloth or similar to remove dust and fingerprints. Do not use household cleaners on the frame or on the acrylic.
Also available in a small canvas bag perfect for your small items.

Note regarding the framed print: I had a frame I'd made by hand that I wanted to use for this print, but the frame was slightly wider than the print we'd designed, so we had one made that was slightly wider so that it fit the frame perfectly. The photo of the print on the chestnut table shows the print you will receive. — Lee
