Dating from 1842 and 1846, Phebe A. Smith's 'A Fruit-Bearing Tree; A Cedar of Paradise' represents a pinnacle of early American visionary art from the Classical era. These works reflect a deeply spiritual and architectural approach to nature, where botanical forms are rendered with meticulous symmetry and allegorical significance. To preserve the historical integrity and precise proportions of Smith's original compositions, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork seamlessly with no cropping, maintaining the spatial harmony intended by the artist.
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.
