Peto’s numerous “rack” pictures were often commissioned, and many contain clues to the identities of their original owners in the objects stuck behind the crisscrossed tape. In this example, a postcard and an envelope are clearly addressed to Dr. Bernard Goldberg, a chiropodist and a neighbor of Peto’s in Philadelphia. The doctor may well have asked the artist to make the painting. Among the items depicted is a portrait, presumably of the doctor, perhaps representing an actual photograph taken by Peto. As seen here, Peto strove for decorative effects of color and texture and was less interested in illusionistic realism than was William Michael Harnett.

Further, a canvas produces a cosy and pleasant feeling. Hanging a canvas print: A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without the support of additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all types of walls.
• Printed poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a printed canvas paper with a fine surface texture. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6 cm round about the artwork in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, which is often described as a plexiglass print, makes your favorite original work of art into brilliant wall décor and forms a viable alternative to canvas or dibond art prints. Your artwork is made with state-of-the-art UV direct print technology.
