The measurements of book page is approximately 8" x 10.8"
(20.5 cm x 27.5 cm ).
Framing for book page can be done in few ways:
1) Photo frame 10x8 inches ( 20x25cm) without mount, but with this size you need to trim a bit print.
2) Frame 11x14 inches ( 28 x 35cm )
with mount 8x10 inches ( 20x25cm ).
3) Document frame 8.5 x 11 inches ( 21x28 cm ) without mat.
Page a bit more than the inner frame size, which is quite appropriate.
4) Frames 11x14 or 12 x 16 inches with mount 7-7/8x 10-5/8 (19x27cm).
5) A4 frame, in this frame a narrow strips of background will be visible and no mat.
6) Floated frame can be perfect.
7) Frame 11x14 or 12 x 16 inches ( 28x35cm or 30x40 cm) book page under glass displayed with open edges, without any matting.
But I personally like when print is not trimmed and displayed with open edges,
without any matting. In this way you can see full page,
you can make background any colour you like
( piece of ordinary colour paper can be used )
and the whole piece will look nice.
Any frame bigger than book page would fit 10x12 inches
or 11x14 inches ( 25 x 30cm,28x35cm or 30x40cm) without mount as well.
It would be useful to visit your local photo framing shop
in your neighbourhood to check what frames they have,
because it can happen they have frames what will fit even better.
My local shop has “HENZO” frames, 12 x 16 inches (30x40cm),
mount opening is 7-7/8x 10-5/8 (19x27cm )fit very well.
Document frame 8-1/2 x 11 (21x28cm) fit perfect.
So it is always useful to check what your local shops have :)
