What is the difference between canvas and paper prints?
Both types of prints are printed with the world's best archival quality materials and pigments with accurate colours and detail that look just like the original
Paper: Has a more contemporary/modern look with a watercolour paper like texture, and since it is uncoated it is best framed in glass. Note that it's more costly to frame larger sizes (30X30" and bigger) as this would require custom framing and glass.
Canvas: Has a more traditional look that is closer to what Victoria's originals look like. It has a the classic canvas texture with a matte varnish so it does not require to be framed in glass. Rolled canvas is more affordable to frame than paper in larger sizes as you can either stretch it over stretcher bars yourself or take it to your local framer. You can also purchase canvas prints already stretched with Victoria's signature white oak frame.
Where can I find frames for paper prints?
If your budget is small, we recommend the plexiglass frames from a Canadian partner company Opposite Wall who carry our sizes of 16X20” to 24X36”, or you can invest in a real glass frame from our print shop in those same sizes. Framing paper prints 30X30" require custom framing at your local framer.
