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 Oslo’s Vibrant Past with Edvard Munch
Bring the dynamic energy of late 19th-century Norway into your living space with this striking poster featuring Edvard Munch’s masterpiece, “Music on the Karl Johan Street” (1889). This early work provides a fascinating glimpse into the bustling heart of Christiania (now Oslo), focusing on Karl Johans gate, the city’s main thoroughfare.
A Bridge Between Impressionism and Expressionism
Painted before Munch solidified his fame with emotionally charged works like “The Scream,” this piece showcases his strong grasp of contemporary artistic trends. While rooted in Impressionist brushwork—visible in the dappled light and reflections on the wet pavement—Munch utilizes bold outlines and focused figures typical of Post-Impressionism. Notice the vivid blue sky contrasting sharply with the warm tones of the buildings and the unforgettable splash of the red umbrella in the immediate foreground, drawing the viewer’s eye. The composition expertly balances the activity of the approaching musical parade in the distance with the detached elegance of the foreground figures, dressed in fashionable 1880s attire.

It is an essential addition for anyone looking to decorate their home, office, or gallery wall with classic European fine art that captures a moment of historical and cultural significance. Celebrate the beginning of modern art with this iconic depiction of urban life.
