Stage 5 of 5

On the wall

Paper, frame, canvas, wood, metal, mug, bottle and cards. What each format physically is, which pictures suit it, and where it belongs.

A bench of bare materials: an empty black frame holding a blank sheet edge to edge, a bare stretched canvas, a plywood panel, an aluminium panel and a plain white mug.

This is the last stage, and it's deliberately the plainest. One page per format, each saying what the thing physically is, which pictures suit it, and the sizes it comes in. Prices live on the product itself and are rendered from the catalogue, so nothing here can quote you a figure that has quietly gone out of date.

The reading, in order

9 pages sit in this stage, and they are meant to be read in this order rather than picked over: Poster, Framed poster, Canvas, Framed canvas, Metal, Wood, Mug, Bottle, and Cards.

The whole path

The path ends here. The poster-history section covers the poster tradition, and the guides index holds every piece of writing on this site.
