Legal note: We try in order to describe the products as accurately as possible and to exhibit them visually on the product detail pages. However, the tone of the print materials and the printing can diverge marginally from the representation on the screen. Depending on the screen settings and the condition of the surface, colors can unfortunately not be printed one hundret percent realistically. Since the art reproductions are printed and processed manually, there might also be slight differences in the size and exact position of the motif.
