Originally published in Harper's Weekly in 1874, 'Raid on a Sand-Swallow Colony - "How Many Eggs?"' is a seminal wood engraving executed by Lagarde after the master of American realism, Winslow Homer. This striking composition captures the raw, adventurous spirit of 19th-century youth against the rugged, architectural geometry of a coastal sand cliff. Homer’s masterful play of light and shadow is preserved with meticulous fidelity, documenting a fleeting moment of American genre history. To honor its archival significance, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with the same clean white gallery border that elegantly floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation.
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.
