The Fine Art Trade Guild was formed in 1910 as the successor to the 1847 Printsellers’ Association, set up to oversee the fine art print trade. The Guild continues to set standards for prints, and their  scheme has brought those standards into the digital age. In addition, it sets standards and guidelines for picture framing, including the Five Levels of Framing and Mountboard Standards.

 draws on over 100 years experience in print registrations, giving artists, photographers and designers the opportunity to promote and protect their art.
