Salome holds John the Baptist's severed head aloft by the hair, blood falling as a single flowering line — the image Oscar Wilde's publishers found so shocking they asked Beardsley to tone it down, which he refused to do.

Our Process

Every piece in the archive moves through the same five stages before it ever reaches a wall — part historian, part colorist, part stubborn about the details.

Where We Start Looking

We dig through museum archives, university collections, and estate catalogs for work that has fallen out of print — pieces with real craft behind them that most people have simply never come across.

Every print is made to order on archival pigment inks and museum-quality fine art paper. Framed pieces are assembled by hand and arrive ready to hang.

Common Questions

What is a giclée print?

A fine-art inkjet print built from archival pigment inks rather than standard dye-based ink — which is why the color holds up so much longer under normal light.

What paper is my art printed on?

An acid-free, lignin-free matte stock, chosen because it holds dark tones without the gray cast a glossy sheen can introduce.

What size should I choose?

For a single accent piece, a larger size reads well above furniture; for a gallery wall, mixing smaller sizes gives you more room to compose.

Will my artwork be cropped?

We fit each size to the artwork's original proportions rather than force-cropping it, so a little breathing room at the edges is normal on some sizes.

What frame finishes are offered?

Natural Oak, Walnut, Black, and White, each available with a gallery mat or an edge-to-edge, no-mat presentation.
