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.
Experience the Depth of Expressionism with Edvard Munch
Bring the evocative power of one of Modern Art’s masters into your home with this striking poster featuring Edvard Munch’s “Evening. Melancholy I,” originally created in 1896. This iconic woodcut is a powerful representation of the artist’s exploration of human emotion, isolation, and psychological distress, themes central to the burgeoning Expressionist movement.
A Study in Mood and Color
The print captures a brooding figure—often associated with Munch’s friend Jappe Nilssen—sitting by the water’s edge at twilight, consumed by contemplation. The composition is defined by dramatic contrasts: the intense, blood-red sunset stripe dominates the background, offset by the dark, heavy contours of the landscape and the solitary, melancholic subject in the foreground. Munch masterfully uses simplified forms and bold, contrasting colors to convey a palpable sense of unease and introspection. This specific version highlights the raw, textural quality of the original woodcut technique.

It transforms any space—from a minimalist living room to a contemplative study—by adding historical weight and emotional resonance.
