Size chart

Sizes

Every design is made in two sizes. Both are standard US frame sizes, so an unframed print drops straight into any off-the-shelf frame.

8x10 inches

Printed on archival photo paper with a luster finish. Suits a desk, a shelf, a gallery wall or a small nook. This is the entry size and our most ordered.

11x14 inches

Printed on 100 lb matte cardstock. Holds a wall on its own above a desk, a bed or an entry table. The better choice for a full poem, the Constitution, or any design with a lot of text you want to read from a chair.

Which size should I pick?

Reading it up close, or grouping several together: 8x10
One piece carrying a wall on its own: 11x14
A long text piece such as Invictus, If, Desiderata or the Gettysburg Address: 11x14
A gift you want to feel substantial: framed 11x14

Framing

Each design is sold unframed, or framed in engineered wood in one of four finishes:

Black
White
Natural
Brown

Framed prints arrive ready to hang. Unframed prints ship flat and protected, cut to the exact standard size.
