Hi,

I have one of these in.

Can I just check the correct way to mount it please? Platform mount or something else?

It says it is parchment but in my ignorance just seems like thick paper :oops:

Many selling stuff labelled vellum or parchment either assume most people don’t know what it is by definition, or don’t know themselves.

To me vellum is calfskin and parchment is sheep or goatskin, but many would say either can mean both.

Anyway, these things are prints, on paper, and as they have a misleading description, could be not even “acid free”.

As they are made to order and are not that cheap, mount it however you would mount a limited edition print of the same sort of value.
