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 to 24 degrees C and humidity at 40 to 60 percent. 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 to 75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25 to 50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Robert Capa print belongs to his WWII documentation — made in 1945 as the war reached its closing phase and Capa was still in the field, pressing as close as the action allowed. Capa co-founded Magnum Photos and built his reputation on a simple principle: if your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough. This war photography print is close enough. The Robert Capa print carries the visual grammar of frontline documentary photography: grain, urgency, and the particular quality of light that only comes from working fast under real conditions.
Capa covered five wars across his career before his death in 1954. His WWII photography wall art — the D-Day landings, the liberation of Paris, the final push through Germany — defines what conflict photography looks like, and this black and white war print from 1945 sits within that defining body of work.
