The process of encasing a completed interlocking picture assembly behind protective glazing and within a decorative border is a popular method for preserving and showcasing the finished artwork. This practice transforms a temporary recreational activity into a permanent display piece.
Securing and presenting assembled pictorial challenges offers several advantages. It safeguards the delicate configuration from disintegration due to handling or environmental factors. Moreover, it allows for prolonged enjoyment and appreciation of the completed image, elevating its status from a disposable pastime to a tangible piece of art. Historically, mounting and displaying these constructed images reflected both an appreciation for the image itself and the dedication required for its assembly.
