Oversize Framing: City of Lethbridge Maps

Scott peeks out from behind the City of Lethbridge

This large map of the City of Lethbridge measures in at 74” x 66”. Because of the size, the map was actually printed in 2 pieces, then dry mounted to foam core. We carefully trimmed the overlapping areas and taped them together from the back. To give this framing proper stability, the two map pieces are attached together horizontally and then two additional pieces of foam core are attached vertically and placed behind them as backing.

The piece is glazed with an acrylic called Lexan; a strong, lightweight plexi glass, and  hangs with 2 sets of metal security hangers.
