Our giclée reproduction keeps that original monochrome palette of black, white, beige and gray, preserving the crosshatched texture, falling snow and shadowed street exactly as the engraving rendered them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eIs this an original antique engraving or a reproduction?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a giclée reproduction of a public-domain Thomas Nast Christmas engraving, not an original nineteenth-century print. It is printed fresh on 230GSM archival matte paper so the hatching and snowfall stay crisp. You receive a new, unframed poster ready to frame at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat size works for a living room wall?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a living room feature wall, 24×30 or 24×36 reads well above a sideboard or sofa. In a hallway or smaller alcove, 16×20 or 18×24 keeps the fine engraving detail sharp up close. The largest 32×40 makes a bold winter statement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haus of Prints","offers":[{"title":"16x20","offer_id":48954442547392,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-16x20","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x7","offer_id":48954442449088,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-5x7","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x10","offer_id":48954442481856,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-8x10","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x14","offer_id":48954442514624,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-11x14","price":64.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3","offer_id":48954442580160,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-A3","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24","offer_id":48954442612928,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-18x24","price":84.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x25","offer_id":48954442645696,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-20x25","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30","offer_id":48954442678464,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-24x30","price":99.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36","offer_id":48954442711232,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-24x36","price":115.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32x40","offer_id":48954442744000,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-32x40","price":129.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/1758\/3296\/files\/thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art-framed-statement.webp?v=1788440701","url":"https:\/\/hausofprints.com\/products\/thomas-nast-christmas-post-wall-art","provider":"Haus of Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
