Canadian Trade Mark Ad

Post by gramophone78 »

I initially thought this piece was trimmed down on all sizes. However after better examination.....it appears Joe_DS is right. A mating boarder has been placed around the image. Although poorly done.

Thanks for the warning. I'll stay away from that. A real shame.

The seller noted the size as 11" x 7.5".
What is the correct size of this item?

Has it actually been trimmed or is the sloppily done cardboard boarder simply covering the outer area of the poster? You can see it's an overlay by the shadow that appears when you enlarge the photo:

It would be great if the seller could remove the poster from the frame to verify.

I will have to concur with Joe's observation. It has to be a poorly made mating around the image. I have now altered my initial post. Also, the size is consistent with mine.
This said. I would have to assume once the mating is removed....you will have an image with a darker outer area due the covering and fading of the rest. In other words....it will look funny. Still a shame.
