Published in 1860, 'A Snow Slide in the City' captures the atmospheric tension and architectural geometry of mid-19th-century urban life, rendered in the distinctive Classical Realism style associated with Winslow Homer. This historic wood engraving depicts a fleeting, dynamic moment of winter in the city, balancing narrative drama with precise structural composition. To preserve the historical integrity and original proportions of Homer's work, every format—including our canvas presentation—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork elegantly without cropping, ensuring the archival composition remains exactly as the artist intended.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
