    Try searching for "borderless frame" or "clip frame".

    There was a group of These at the Salvation Army about 10 altogether. 2 Picasso 2Joan Miro and the others I did not recognize art prints, Are they of any value? Does anyone want to speculate on where they might have come from with their click frames?

    Impossible to say 100% without detailed pics...dimensions, close ups of the paper...inspection for marks etc...

    The one you posted above is a mass produced offset lithograph print. Dot pattern visible in last pic. Suspect the others are too until proven otherwise.

    Definitely dot everywhere when viewing with a loupe. I looked for watermarks on the paper but, I did not see any. This is the only one that was left when I purchased it.
    There is yellowish-brown staining very visible on the border. Could this be from being in a tobacco smoking environment or perhaps acid deterioration caused by the cardboard backing? 20191222_215145.jpg 20191222_215158.jpg 20191222_215114.jpg 20191222_215235.jpg 20191222_215247.jpg

    I think its acid in the mat itself causing the brown spots. With the offset lithograph dots it's not going to have any special watermarks or other, as that process is not used for fine art prints but rather for mass runs of prints.

    Thanks aaroncab and everyone

    When you say mat are you referring to the whole sheet of paper? I believe that the acid hydrolysis seems to be throughout the whole sheet.
    My inexperience guest on the age is between 1955 - 1980
    What is the approximate age of this print?

    Yes I meant whatever backing it's on, and/or the paper itself. Likely this wasn't printed on acid free paper.
