I owned and operated a food business next to a framing shop in the nineties. The framer did this with old books too. You could either get one already framed, or go through hundreds of plates (lithographs, etchings), choose your own, and have her frame them according to your décor. She and I engaged in bartering - I got art, she got food - so my home is loaded with stuff like this. I love them. I love yours too.
