Blush...
Yes, I did notice the blackness of all, I was just not going into
it in detail, just something a bit general. Up to you to
experiment.
Sometimes, (not often), before framing my bromide prints I would
border them with a black line without this hugging the actual
"printed negative" part. With a white (bg colour of paper)
breathing space. You can choose something a little subtle, a grey
perhaps... (you know, in this situation, I prefer nothing at all,
but if you prefer something, well, make it work nice somehow...)
