What do I get when I buy a piece?

A high-resolution JPEG, prepared in three print sizes selected for the piece’s resolution and reading scale. Delivered by email link within a minute of purchase, downloadable for 30 days, up to five downloads. You print at home or at a local print shop — the detail page for each piece lists the print specifications.

Can I print these at any size?

Each piece’s detail page lists the three sizes we recommend for it, based on the source resolution and how the composition reads at scale. Going beyond the recommended maximum is technically possible; we’d rather you didn’t.

Can I use these in my café, roastery, or restaurant?

Yes. Personal and commercial display use is permitted — your home, your café, your roastery, your hotel lobby. What’s not permitted is reselling the file itself or claiming authorship.

Can I get a refund?

Digital downloads are non-refundable except for technical failure (corrupted file, broken download link). Watermarked previews are available before purchase so the visual decision is yours to make before paying.

Do you ship internationally?

There’s nothing to ship. Files are delivered by email link.

How do free samples work?

We send two free pieces to anyone who asks. Same files we sell. You confirm your email address via a verification link (one extra click), then you get the download links. We add you to a low-frequency email list — no more than four messages per month, and one-click unsubscribe.

Are the artists paid?

The artists in this archive have been dead for between 80 and 250 years. The institutional holders (Wellcome, Museu Paulista, etc.) released the digital files into public domain or under open licenses; we credit them on every piece.
