For decorating my own office, what I like to do is buy an off-the-shelf Frame, then go to a frame shop for the custom MATTE ONLY. Framing is stupid-expensive, but the mattes are pretty affordable (not to mention nearly impossible to execute without proper tools and training!)
So, for any Collectors who would like an elegant, affordable framing solution for this Print, here's what I recommend:
1) Buy this $28 Frame:
22x28 Satin Black Picture Frame, 1-1/4-Inch Wide
2) Go to your local Frame shop and ask for a custom matte. (I would suggest a bright white, but the color is up to you.) Tell the framer you want a matte to fit a 22x28 frame (OUTER DIMENSIONS), with the window (INNER DIMENSIONS) to matte an 18x24 print. This is roughly a 2" matte you're asking for, but they'll make the window slightly smaller than that, to allow the matte to overlap the print.
Depending upon where you live, the matte will cost you roughly $25, and the Frame is only $28.37 (with FREE shipping for Prime members). This will give you a gorgeous framing solution for a grand total of $53.37…versus the HUNDREDS of dollars a 'custom' framing job will run you.
Whatever your solutions, I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

p.s. Edited to add:
This might go without saying, but you'll need to center and TAPE the print to the back-side of the matte; otherwise it will just slide down when you assemble the frame! I recommend a couple pieces (one on top, one on bottom) of simple, white "Artist's Tape", which is designed to adhere but it fully removable, even years later.Leave a comment:

I appreciate the consideration of size, I just like mats. It may prove to be too large if matted.Leave a comment:

Here's some info to consider:
I went with a standard poster size of 18" x 24". I chose this size so folks would be able to find quality, off-the-shelf Frames without having to shell out crazy bucks for custom framing. If you do opt for custom Framing and/or Matting, there is a 1" of white space all the way around the poster, which will give the framer plenty of space to overlay a nice matte (without intruding upon the image area).
I can't wait to see Collectors' pics of these posters in and around their Display areas. Let the fun begin!
