The passe-partout serves two purposes: first, to prevent the image from touching the glass, and second, to frame the image and enhance its visual appeal. The treatment of the back of the framed artwork also varies widely. All frame packages should incorporate some sort of stiff, dense board to protect against physical blows and the ingress of dirt, insects, moisture, and pollutants. Except for temporary displays of expendable objects, the backboard(s) should be made from good archival-quality material, such as matboard.

The band themselves are noted fans of Passe-Partout composer Pierre F. Brault and have performed shows in his honour. They have also been influenced by French singer Renaud, and his songs with political messages and local popular language (for Renaud, the French argot). Many of the idiosyncrasies of their music stem from Marie-Annick Lépine, a versatile musician, who makes the band line-up distinct from the conventional guitar- bass-drums-singer. Her talents contribute to the vivacious sounds of instruments like the violin, mandolin and accordion.

The loading gauge on the main lines of Great Britain, almost all of which were built before 1900, is generally smaller than in mainland Europe, where the slightly larger Berne gauge (Gabarit passe-partout international, PPI) was agreed to in 1913 and came into force in 1914.Berne loading gaugeA Word on Loading Gauges. As a result, British (passenger) trains have noticeably and considerably smaller loading gauges and smaller interiors, despite the track being standard gauge. This results in increased costs for purchasing trains as they must be specifically designed for the British network, rather than being purchased "off-the-shelf".

A National Film Board series of 30-minute dramas produced by Biggs (paralleled by a similar series in French known as Passe-partout) from 1956 to 1958. The emphasis was on documentary dramas in which social themes such as alcoholism, drug addition, adolescence, the elderly, racial problems etc. predominated. One such film, Monkey on the Back, directed by Biggs, was a bleak, tragic story of man's struggle to free himself, unsuccessfully, from drug addiction. Similar to Robert Anderson's Drug Addict (1948), which had been banned in the U.S., it was the type of film that caused the Board to reconsider its role in producing socially relevant films.

The elaborate decoration on this frame may be made by adhering molded plaster pieces to the wood base Except for the most disposable or temporary displays, the glazing must be held off the surface of the picture in order to prevent the object from becoming adhered to the underside of the glazing, acquiring irreversible color changes due to compression of the media, and/or developing mold growths that otherwise would not occur. This distancing is accomplished with a mat, "spacers" tucked behind the glazing and hidden from view by the lip of the moulding, shadowboxing, sandwiching the glazing between two mouldings, and similar methods. Relieving the glazing is also necessary in order to prevent loose media, such as charcoal or pastel, from becoming smudged. passe-partout (or mat) can be put between the frame and picture.

Born from a ballet professor (Pierette Gagné), and an actor famous for being in "Passe-Partout", a Quebec television program from 1977 (Jean-Claude Robillard), Anne Robillard was, as could be imagined, as much raised in an imaginary world of dance, as in the financial insecurity of the artistic world. As such, she opted for a more financially stable option, working as a judicial secretary, allowing her to continue her studies in Literature and Foreign Languages Translation, at the Montreal University. In 2003, she finally chose to quit her job, and start to work at home, as a freelance journalist, and in 2005, to embrace her dream of writing books. As a child, she already read fantasy books from authors such as Tolkien (The Hobbit, The Lord of The Rings), even wrote some, and as such, starting her novelist career, she first wrote heroic fantasy books.

In 1965, he became an independent graphic designer and set up a studio in Bemmel. He participated in regional exhibitions with figurative graphic art and drawings, and made contacts with painters, sculptors and graphic artists like Theo Elfrink, Klaas Gubbels, Rob Terwindt, Oscar Goedhart, Ed van Teeseling and with the artist- critic Maarten Beks. In 1969, he managed to produce prints with an extreme relief (up to 20 millimetres) in special thick rag paper. Initially he referred to them as ‘präge prints’ (based on the German word for blind embossing), at that time a common term in modern graphic art. Given a number of essential technical differences he soon coined and permanently used the Dutch term ‘reliëfdruk’ (‘relief print’, meaning: ‘print with extreme relief’).
