    I found this at my local thrift store today ($5!!) - I tried to find another of this example because I am wondering if the poster starts & ends with the silver/foil part or with the black & white trim/matting? It looks like it's laid on top of the black & white part but frame is taped close all around on back so I don't want to open it.

    It says 1982 Sevenart, Ltd exclusively published by Impress Graphics, Ct. Printed in USA - this is also on the edge of the silver/foil part on lower left corner (with the black & white part continuing to end of frame)?

    The poster with just the silver measures 30" x 23" and with the black part 36" x 23"

    Also does the lady/scene have a name? (I tried googling 1982 ERTE lady with fan poster & again nothing)

    Thanks for any help

    What do I call the backing - matting?
    Should I remove it & frame/sell alone?

    Very 1980s. As it's a repro, I'd just leave it as is and let buyer decide to change if desired. That said... it does look better without patterned backing.
