One think you all are forgetting - the frame is more than likely original to the art and should remain with the art, in fact, to use another frame may reduce the value of the art. Just because the art says it was published in 1820 doesn't mean that this art was printed then. I dealt in antique/vintage art for close to 20 years and have had and sold prints identified like this that were printed in the 1930s, 40s, and even later. From the look of this print I would estimate the age somewhere in the neighborhood of the 1930s to early 40s therefore making this frame original to this art. It doesn't matter if you like the frame or not, if it is original to the art it should stay with the art. Actually, that frame works nicely with the art. I have sold hundreds of pieces of antique and vintage art and I would replace the mat and install all back into the original frame. But again, this is just my opinion.
