Monkey Parliament measurements, by tobeannounced on Jan 17, 2017 21:46:10 GMT 1, I am looking to buy a Monkey Parliament poster from The Bristol Museum exhibition in 2009 - if anybody has one, hit me up ;-)
Anyway, there a couple of them on eBay - but also a lot of reproductions, I don't want to make any mistakes, so are there any credible sources that can confirm exactly what measurements the poster should be?
I have seen 2 different measurements pop up on auction sites and I need to know which one is the right one, I know it's just a small difference, and maybe some people are only measuring the picture itself - and not the actual poster, but I just don't want to end up with something that's not legit.
so is it:
24 x 36 inches
or
21 X 33 inches

In view of the appropriation of an old painting, this is one of the few Banksy prints/posters that works well in an ornate frame, in my view.
Perhaps an ornate frame, sprayed Matt black (as per my sweettoof portrait).

Checked last week and unfortunately the framer I used glued it to the mount along the top! 
Just wanted a cheap frame as it was a £5 poster (at the time) so didn't use my usual guy.
You live and learn.
I'm sure my usual framer will come up with something. A decent chunky mount will hide it.
Correct about the thin tubes. Real tubes also have a small white sticker that says "Monkey Parliament".
I guess when buying on the secondary you could ask to see if they still have the original tube because it didn't come with anything else. I still have mine somewhere.
