Abstract
The present invention is an illuminating frame which is used for holding and displaying paintings, drawings, lithographs or artworks. It utilizes a strip of light to illuminate a plurality of glass etchings which are retained within the frame. The strip of light is sitting on an interior ledge of the frame. By having the strip of light around the entire interior circumference of the frame, the strip of light provides a nice visual effect on the glass etchings. The frame can accommodate more glass etchings if so desired.
