Where you see the name of the signatures with the word '(clipped)' next to it, this signature is supplied separately from the item. These clipped signatures are usually sourced from other prints which have become damaged but the signatures remain unaffected. Sometimes, rarer signatures have been collected in person either by Cranston Fine Arts or militaria dealers and collectors we work with. In the past, we mounted these signatures with prints and drawings ourselves to send to customers, but it is significantly better value to send everything unmounted for you to get matted and framed the way you want it - saving you money on shipping costs. Here you can see some examples of how the clipped signatures are sent out (usually on A6 size cards) with brief details of the signature. Also, we show a couple of examples of how prints and drawings can be matted together with these signatures.
