What a difference a frame makes

Newly updated and on view in the early-20th century American gallery – Jacob  Lawrence’s Summer Street Scene in Harlem is sporting a brand new, top-of-the-line frame.  The frame company that made the frame is Eli Wilner & Company: Master Framers in NYC.

Here is the before shot:
