In addition, these supplements were protected over the last century while bound into their original custom binding and therefore the original binder holes are in place on one margin, as seen in the digital picture. These holes are easily hidden via matting when framed. Please also note that there is a tear separating the print horizontally across the center which would also be easily diminished with the proper mounting and with matting during framing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Original Cover; Color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGrade:\u003c\/b\u003e Very Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 11 x 17 inches; 28 x 43 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthentication:\u003c\/b\u003e Serial-Numbered Certificate of Authenticity w\/ Full Provenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProtection:\u003c\/b\u003e Packaged in a custom archival sleeve with an acid-free black board (great for display, gift-giving, and preservation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeywords specific to this image: architect, entertainment, Victorian, Victorian fashion, sail, sailors, American flag, costume, dress\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFAR2A5B17C93 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Period Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16337591992442,"sku":"112700_FAR2_009","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/products\/FAR2_009_263b1b93-a976-443e-9f06-3241178f2e3d.jpg?v=1571714545"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/collections\/worlds-fair.jpg?v=1464031019","url":"https:\/\/www.periodpaper.com\/collections\/1893-chicago-worlds-fair-large-format-inter-ocean-rare-color-originals\/worlds-fair-expo-art.oembed?page=2","provider":"Period Paper Historic Art LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
