This print

Where it works
Emerson's leave-a-trail line set small across two lines of black italic serif on an empty cream ground, his name in grey capitals beneath. Suits a home office, a hallway or a graduation wall at 12×18 or 16×24 in a black frame, no mat; it pairs with the Thoreau dreams print.

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. 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 frame and eye-level hanging so it can be read.
Pairing. Hangs alone or as a matched pair; three or more prints are 10% off.
