Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. A slim black or dark wood frame with no mat (black sharpens an engraving, dark wood warms a colour plate), hung at eye level so the plate can be read.
Pairing. Hangs alone or as a matched pair; three or more prints are 10% off.
