Q. I would like to purchase a print of a work that is not available commercially.
Unfortunately, not all images stored in our library are available to buy or download due to copyright restrictions.
Q. I would like to buy a different image download from those offered.
Currently, we are unable to offer alternative options for use of digital downloads other than those specified.
Q. Why are some prints limited in size?
Print sizes are based on the resolution of the underlying image file. We offer the widest variety of sizes for the resolution of the relevant image file.
Q. When will I receive my order?
We use the Royal Mail to deliver items in the UK. We aim to dispatch books within seven days. Once you have received the dispatch email, please allow five working days for UK mainland standard delivery and up to 21 working days for international delivery. Both framed and unframed art prints are made to order, which requires a more prolonged process – please allow 14 days in the UK and 28 days for international orders.

Q. What sizes and finishes do reproduction prints come in?
Most photographic reproduction prints are available in a range of finishes and sizes from A5 to A0. However, please be aware that some images may not be offered in these sizes due to the quality of the original.
Q. Do you use glass in the framing service?
All sizes are available in the framing service but for safety reasons, we do not use glass in the process. A very high-quality acrylic glazing is used instead.
Q. Will there be imperfections on the reproduction prints?
In some cases, yes. Many of the images have been very well preserved. However, some images have only survived in a folded or damaged condition, and therefore the reproduction will copy their present condition. Please check the thumbnail of the painting before placing an order to ensure you are satisfied with the quality of the original artwork.
Q. How are prints packaged?
Prints from size A3 to A0 are rolled in a plastic sleeve and packaged in a high-quality, robust cardboard mailing tube to ensure that your order arrives in top condition. Smaller prints (A4 and smaller) are packaged in rigid cardboard-backed envelopes. Framed prints are packaged suitably by a framing company to ensure their safe arrival.
