Where it works
Four figures from Sobotta's 1920 atlas: the eyeball with its blue iris in the ochre bone of the socket, then three views of the globe with its six red muscles. For an optometrist's or eye surgeon's office, hung with The Eyeball and Its Muscles, at 16×24 in a black frame.

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.
