How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
Own a Masterpiece of Equestrian Art
Dive into the world of 19th-century French art with this stunning reproduction of Edgar Degas’ iconic work, “Jockeys” (1886). While Degas is perhaps most famous for his depictions of ballerinas, his fascination with the dynamic energy of the racetrack provided equally compelling subjects. This piece captures a fleeting, intimate moment—the jockeys and their mounts preparing before the race, far removed from the spectacle of the finish line.
The Signature Degas Technique
Executed in his preferred medium of pastel, this artwork exemplifies Degas’ unique blend of Impressionistic light and movement combined with a Realist focus on daily life. Notice the vibrant, loose application of color used to render the jockeys’ silks—yellow, red, blue, and white—against the lush, green backdrop of the turf. The composition, often described as proto-photographic, crops the scene dramatically, drawing the viewer’s eye directly into the line of powerful, muscular horses and their riders.
Perfect Decor for Art and Sport Enthusiasts
Whether you are a collector of Impressionist masters or an enthusiast of horse racing and equestrian themes, this “Jockeys” poster is a sophisticated addition to any space. It offers a glimpse into Degas’ commitment to capturing motion and human activity, making it an excellent focal point for a study, living room, or office. Printed with museum-quality archival inks, this poster ensures the rich texture and striking color palette of the original 1886 pastel are preserved for years to come.
