✨ About This Antique Print
Our antique prints are reproduced from authentic vintage artwork, each with its own unique original proportions. Because these historic pieces were never created in modern standardized sizes, we do not crop, stretch, or distort the image. Instead, we enlarge each print to fill your selected paper size as much as possible while preserving the original artwork’s proportions.
This means the printed image size will vary slightly from piece to piece, and the margins may differ depending on the artwork’s shape. Every print will always include a minimum ¼-inch margin on at least two sides, with additional margin space added only where needed to keep the artwork accurate and undistorted.
•Why We Print This Way
Antique illustrations, maps, and magazine covers come from a time before today’s standard paper dimensions existed. Maintaining their original proportions protects the integrity of the artwork—ensuring every line, letter, stroke, and detail remains exactly as the creator intended. By allowing the margins to vary, you receive a faithful reproduction with no cropping, warping, or lost detail.
🖨️ How Your Image Fits the Paper (FAQ)
•Why doesn’t the image fill the entire page?
Each antique print has its own aspect ratio. We scale the artwork until it reaches the maximum possible size on the selected sheet without altering its proportions, which naturally results in varying margins.
•Can you give real examples?
Yes! Here’s how three different antique prints fit on an 11" × 17" sheet:
1. Antique American Boy Magazine Cover (vertical)
Final image size: 10.5" × 14"
Margins: ¼" on the left and right, approximately 1.5" top and bottom
2. Antique Atlas Century Map of Kansas (horizontal)
Final image size: 10.5" tall × 15.75" wide
Margins: ¼" top and bottom, with wider left and right margins due to the long horizontal layout
3. Antique Manhattan Map (vertical and very narrow)
Final image size: 5" × 16.5"
Margins: ¼" top and bottom, with larger side margins because the map is naturally tall and narrow
•Will the margins change for different paper sizes (17×22, 24×36, 36×48)?
Yes. Every artwork is enlarged proportionally to best fit the chosen size, always keeping a minimum ¼" margin on two sides. The exact margin layout varies depending on the original proportions.
•Do you crop or stretch the artwork?
Never. Your print is always reproduced in the original historical proportions for maximum authenticity.
