Rendered during the mid-20th century as part of the Index of American Design, Arsen Maralian’s 'Pa. German Toy Bird' (1935/1942) captures the rustic elegance and geometric simplicity of early American folk art. This classical depiction of a Pennsylvania German carved toy reflects a meticulous recording of material culture, preserving the weathered textures and hand-painted charm of the original artifact. Each format of this archival reproduction is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that elegantly floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring a refined, gallery-ready presentation that honors its historical significance.
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.
