The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

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 Museum of Fine Arts.

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 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.

Old Time Letter Rack dates from 1894 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 76.5 × 63.5 cm.

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Old Time Letter Rack we'd choose 12×18.
