Beautiful, but....
I bought this set, along with the VW Bug set, to hang in the hallway of our new beach condo. They are super fun. I love the colors and subject matter. And, they are perfect for our beach condo! They arrived within the stated time frame and were well packaged.<br /><br />The only thing is that they aren't really prints. They are photographs. As such, the 8"X10" (the size I bought) are exactly that size. There is no white/blank area around the image. The image goes right to the edges, just like a photograph. They are also printed on photo paper (or paper very similar to photo paper) and look just like photos. Usually, when you buy a print, there is a blank area "framing" the image. It may be very thin, but it is there. Also, usually photographs are not considered prints.<br /><br />The lack of any blank area around the image, made these VERY difficult to matte and frame. If you had it done professionally, it would be fine, but part of the image would be lost. I purchased frames with mattes here on Amazon, though, and the mattes were cut exactly 8"X10". This made it difficult to mount these photos/prints in as they were the exact same size as the opening. There wasn't even a tiny bit of overlap. I had to tape them in very carefully and place a dark piece of paper behind them so that if there was a small slit between the edge of the print/photo and the edge of the matte, it would be a uniform dark color. In the end they look just fine. It just isn't what one expects when one buys a "print." So, if you are thinking of purchasing these prints/photos, keep this in mind when deciding on how to frame or hang them.
