This mat board serves as an aesthetic border, emphasizing the document within its frame. The entire piece is enclosed within a sleek, thin-profile black or dark bronzed metal frame, which suggests a modern or contemporary framing style. The frame shows no visible signs of damage, dents, or significant wear. There is a perceptible glare or reflection near the top center of the glass, indicating a glossy surface and possibly the presence of an overhead light source. The paper itself appears crisp and well-preserved, with no obvious creases, tears, or discoloration. The printing is clear and legible. A small inscription at the bottom indicates that the 'story/essay/memoir was first published as a limited edition for 'Witness to the Great Big Show' and later as selections to the University of Ontario Press. Distinguished author Joyce Carol Oates. The overall presentation is clean and professional, suggesting careful handling and display. Its quality indicates it is either an authentic signed excerpt or a high-quality reproduction intended for display.
