From what I could see they were attached to large stretched canvases. It
didn't look like it was attached in a few places, but the whole image was
glued (or whatever) completely to the canvas. The canvas was less than an
inch larger on each side, very unobtrusive. I liked it alot. But I have a
special distaste for mounting photographs behind anything shiny, like glass
or plexi. The glare just drives me nuts.
