Out of the frame the facing and backing mats are glued together so there is no way to view the full sheet without destroying the mat. The middle of the sheet is clearly not affixed to the backing, but we can not know about the edges. The margins are at least 1/2 inch on each side. The paper looks very clean and fresh.

The frame measures 26 1/4 x 19 3/4 x 1 1/4 in.
