W Somerset Maugham stands with quiet authority in this remarkable photograph, his brown tweed jacket and blue vest embodying the very essence of British establishment elegance. Behind him rises an elaborate heraldic coat of arms that dominates the white wall, griffin supporters flanking a quartered shield beneath a gleaming crown while a single coral flower adds unexpected delicacy against the baroque carved bench with its ornate scrollwork. Slim Aarons captured literary nobility personified. This print infuses your room with the sanctuary of considered literary tradition only achievement creates.

Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches - what size will I receive?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing format depends on the product type and your delivery location. In almost all cases, the difference between metric and imperial conversions is only a few millimetres.

Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print always matches the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it is included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.

Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame — the print size including any border. The frame moulding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.

Q: Are these limited-edition or numbered prints?
All prints are not produced in fixed or numbered editions. Each piece is made to order using archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine-art paper for exceptional clarity and longevity.
