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.
This Vintage lotus print is a precise reproduction of a botanical study from the early 20th century, specifically the Shoson era of Japanese art. The composition focuses on a central, fully opened lotus flower with layered pink petals that transition from a deep rose at the tips to a soft white at the base. Surrounding the main bloom are several buds, some tightly closed and others beginning to reveal their interior colors, showcasing the various stages of the lotus lifecycle.
The Aesthetic History of the Vintage lotus print
Originating in the 1920s and 1930s, the Shin-hanga movement sought to revitalize traditional woodblock printing by incorporating Western elements of light and depth. This Vintage lotus print reflects that period perfectly, using high-contrast shading on the large, downward-sloping green leaf that sits behind the primary flower. The artist captured the fine details of the plant, including the small, dark thorns along the stems and the intricate texture of the seed pod on the right side of the frame. The pale blue, textured background provides a cool contrast to the warm pinks and earthy greens of the flora.
