Size. We'd hang this one at 24×16. Prints at 18×12, 24×16 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard.

Framing. A slim black or natural wood frame right to the plate edge; the plate's own margin frames the subject.

Pairing. Hangs alone or as a matched pair; three or more prints are 10% off.
