Description & Materials

This print is a reproduction of Volcano in Eruption (1921) by Jean de Bosschère, made from the impression in the University of California Libraries. The scan has been carefully retouched to remove major imperfections while preserving the character of the original piece. Subtle discoloration, small marks and creases, and visible variations remain as traces of the paper's age and the original printing process.

Each piece is printed and framed to order. The giclée print is made on Hahnemühle Photo Rag, a 308 gsm matte paper, and placed behind a white acid-free mat. The FSC-certified solid pine frame is made in Germany and available in black, white, or oak veneer.

The 18 × 25 inch frame is glazed with float glass that filters approximately 45% of UV light. For the 25 × 34 inch and 29 × 41 inch frames, we use 3 mm clear acrylic to reduce the risk of breakage in transit. Each piece arrives framed and ready to hang, with fittings for either portrait or landscape orientation. Keep it away from direct sunlight, radiators, and damp, in a room below approximately 60% relative humidity.
