About this work

Artist: John F. Peto (1854–1907)
Year: after 1890
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 76.2 × 50.8 cm
Collection: Minneapolis Institute of Art
Movement: Realism

A small oval print of Abraham Lincoln is tacked to a battered green door, with dates carved into the wood and scraps of paper and a key around it. Peto painted several such memorials to Lincoln, the year of his assassination becoming a kind of epitaph. It is in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A quiet green trompe-l'oeil memorial for a study, office or library in a dark wood frame. It suits warm grey or deep green walls and is a gift for a history lover.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; dark wood warms it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Reminiscences of 1865 in the public domain?

Yes. John F. Peto (1854–1907) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Minneapolis Institute of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18 and 16×24 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Reminiscences of 1865 painted, and in what medium?

Reminiscences of 1865 dates from after 1890 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 76.2 × 50.8 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 16×24 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 12×18 suits a narrower wall or a pair.
