Choose a material variant

In the dropdown menu right next to the article you can choose a material and a size of your choice. We allow yout to choose among the following variants:

• Canvas print: A canvas print, not to be mistaken with a real canvas painting, is a digital image printed on an industrial printer. It has the distinctive impression of three dimensionality. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for all types of walls.
• Acrylic glass print: A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes labelled as a print on plexiglass, will turn your selected original work of art into amazing home décor. The major advantage of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts as well as image details will be exposed thanks to the subtle tonal gradation. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your selected fine art print against light and heat for many years to come.
• Poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a printed sheet of cotton canvas paper with a slight surface texture. It is ideally suited for putting the fine art print using a personal frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the artwork, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond (metal print): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with a true depth effect. The Aluminium Dibond Print is the ideal introduction to the sophisticated world of art reproductions made on aluminum. For our Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the artpiece on the surface of the white-primed aluminum. The white & bright parts of the artpiece shine with a silky gloss but without the glare.

Dirty chimneys posed serious fire hazards. Any resident who neglected theirs risked a hefty fine (twenty-five dollars in 1808). Sweeps—wearing only undergarments and caps—wiggled their way up tight, crooked vents to the chimney tops (note the sweep working in the upper left) and then worked back down, continuously scraping and brushing the soot. The scores of sweeps who performed this brutal task were almost always black boys about ten years old who lived in miserable conditions. Here, Chappel also represents the Cherry Street shops of coppersmith John Wright, tinsmith J. Loyd, and plumber Warren Chardavoyne. The alderman George Buckmaster resided in the brick house at right.
