Frequently asked questions

Hahnemühle German Etching, 310 gsm — a heavy, matt, lightly textured mould-made paper, acid-free and made for pigment printing. The same paper for framed and unframed prints.

A reproduction. The originals are not for sale. Each print is made to order from the artist's own photographic archive.

We do not fix a quantity and we do not put a running count on prints. Each print carries its own registration number instead, recorded in our archive. More about the certificate.

No. Peter Wirth signed his paintings, and where that signature appears in a work it is reproduced with the work. It is printed, like everything else on the sheet.

Every sheet carries a white border. The artwork sits inside it at its own proportions, so nothing is cropped to fit the paper. The border is also there for handling and framing.

A narrow black wood frame with acrylic glazing and hanging hardware fitted. It arrives assembled and ready to hang.

No, and that is deliberate. The sheet's own white border already gives the work air, and a mount on top of it would mean two borders. A mount would also cover the edge of the sheet, so a framed 16 × 20 would show less than a 16 × 20 sheet. Without one, you get the whole print — border, registration number and signature included.

Individually, to order, in the United States with pigment inks. Nothing is stocked.

8 × 10, 11 × 14, 12 × 16 and 16 × 20 inches, and 18 × 24 inches as a sheet where the archive file carries it — US standards, so a print fits a frame you already own. Not every work is offered in every size. Framing is offered up to 16 × 20. See sizes and prices.

Peter Wirth photographed his paintings himself, over many years and with the cameras of their day. We offer each work only in the sizes its source file supports at full fine-art resolution, and we do not enlarge with software. More on that here.

Write to studio@divineeditions.com with the title. We will check what the source file allows and reply honestly, within two working days.

Yes, and it is applied automatically in the basket: 10 % from two works, 15 % from six. It applies to single works. The wall sets are not included — they are already priced below the same prints bought singly.

Orders usually leave the atelier within one to five working days. Delivery within the contiguous United States normally takes a further five to ten working days; Alaska and Hawaii may take longer. Shipping is free and there is no expedited option. Shipping and delivery.

Not from this shop — it ships within the United States, and shipping is free. We do run a separate German shop that ships within Germany, with its own sizes and prices in euros. Other countries will follow.
