Created in 1859 during the height of the Etching Revival, 'Kensington Gardens (The Small Plate)' by Francis Seymour Haden is a masterclass in classical landscape printmaking. Haden, an influential English etcher and surgeon, captured the majestic, gnarled trees of the historic London royal park with architectural precision and a dramatic play of light and shadow. This exquisite reproduction preserves the delicate linework and rich tonal contrasts of the original copper plate etching. To ensure the integrity of Haden's composition, every format—including our canvas option—is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation. This consistent clean white gallery border floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, offering an elegant aesthetic suitable for sophisticated, minimalist interiors.
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.
