Alternatively, the mount board can be taped to the mat board using the hinging tape, with the artwork sandwiched in between. written by Susan Slobac
If you go to visit museums or fine art galleries where photographs are displayed, you will often see the artwork framed in slender black metal frames with wide white mat board used to edge the photograph. This is done, especially when black and white photos are on display, for several reasons. First, the wide white mat helps to focus the viewer's eye on the center of the frame, where the picture is displayed. The white and black colors do not detract in any way from the artwork.
