Abstract

A presentation system, by which a pictorial work can be protected in a manner appropriate for presentation as a gift or sales item and directly used by the recipient in a traditional manner without alteration and can be simultaneously authenticated in a manner that enhances the presentability of the work as a gift or sales item, preferably includes a framed pictorial work and an authenticating backing that bears authenticating information and is secured to the back of the frame. The system can further include a card and envelope with additional information relating to the work and a box having side flaps to hug the frame to give an appearance of extending the frame.
