Dating to circa 1939, Arsen Maralian’s 'Pa. German Toy Birds' is a precise rendering created for the Index of American Design, a monumental New Deal project documenting American folk art. This composition captures the rustic charm and geometric simplicity of Pennsylvania German woodcarvings with remarkable fidelity. Maralian's work elevates humble folk craft into a study of form and color, preserving the historical texture of early American material culture. Every format of this archival reproduction is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring a refined, gallery-ready presentation that honors the original document's architectural precision.
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.
