Print sizes

Size Dimensions in centimetres Approximate dimensions in inches
A2 42 × 59.4 cm 16.5 × 23.4 in
A1 59.4 × 84.1 cm 23.4 × 33.1 in
A0 84.1 × 118.9 cm 33.1 × 46.8 in

These measurements cover the whole sheet, including the photograph, typography and cream-coloured border. The border is part of the printed artwork.

Dimensions are shown as width × height for portrait prints.

Choosing a size

A2
The smallest size in the collection. A good starting point for a smaller wall, a reading corner or a grouping of prints.

A1
A larger piece with more presence. Consider it above a console, desk or sideboard, or as the focus of a smaller room.

A0
The largest format, giving the photograph and its details room to be seen. Best considered where there is enough clear wall space to accommodate both the print and its frame.

To compare sizes, mark out the dimensions on your wall using paper or a suitable removable tape. Step back and look from where you normally sit or enter the room. Allow extra space for the frame, which adds to the overall dimensions.

Room images show possible settings. Use the measurements above to judge the size for your own space.

Choosing a frame

Archive 78 prints are designed to sit in a frame without an additional mount or mat. The printed border provides space around the photograph, and the typography and field notes form part of the complete artwork.

Choose a frame made to hold the exact print size. Check the dimensions the frame accepts rather than its outside measurements, particularly when shopping in inches. A similarly sized frame may not be an exact fit.

A slim black frame complements the dark typography. Natural wood offers a softer contrast with the cream-coloured layout. Either can work well; choose the finish that suits the room.

Check how much of the paper edge the frame’s inner lip will cover, so the printed details remain visible.

Professional framing

A professional framer can help with an exact fit, suitable glazing and archival mounting materials, particularly for larger prints.

Ask about keeping the paper clear of the glazing using an appropriate spacer. This allows the work to retain its intended appearance without adding a visible mount.

Anti-reflective glazing can reduce distracting reflections. If the print will hang in a bright room, ask separately about UV protection; anti-reflective and UV-protective glazing serve different purposes.

Handling your print

Handle the print with clean, dry hands and hold it by the edges. Avoid touching or rubbing the printed surface.

If it arrives rolled, do not force it flat or roll it tightly in the opposite direction. A framer can help it relax and prepare it for framing.

Display your print away from direct sunlight, damp conditions and sources of heat.

ABOUT THIS PRINT

A road I've driven many times. It runs high above Lough Tay and takes you deeper into the Wicklow mountains; you can follow it all the way to Glendalough if you keep going. Every visit it looks different. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot.

This was an autumn morning. Low cloud had settled over the landscape and dropped visibility to a few hundred metres. I stopped and made this image, along with N°3 in the series.

Shot handheld on the Leica M6 with Ilford HP5 Plus, developed in my darkroom.

A NOTE ON PRINT TONE

These are not strictly black and white prints. Each image is toned in post to a specific warmth, a slight shift away from neutral grey. It's subtle. They'll read as monochrome at a glance, but there's warmth in there. That's intentional.

Shot on 35mm film, the grain of the original negative is part of the image.

SIZES & SHIPPING

Available in three sizes:

A2 42 × 59.4cm €125

Printed and dispatched within 3–5 working days. Free worldwide shipping. Prints are rolled and shipped in a protective tube, or in a rigid cardboard box depending on your location.

Mockup images are for illustrative purposes. We recommend measuring your wall before ordering.

FRAMING

Framing is not included. These are poster-format prints, designed to sit flush in a frame with no mount. Standard A1 and A2 frames are widely available from IKEA, Desenio, and most independent framers. A simple black or natural wood frame works well.

For the best finish, I recommend professional framing with anti-reflective glass. It makes a significant difference to how the print reads on the wall.
