1882 - Morituri te Salutamus
"At 8:13 p.m. on Friday, January 13, 1882, in room 13 of his Knickerbocker Cottage, Captain Fowler and twelve men he recruited over the previous year (it took that long to find candidates brave enough), assembled for a highly symbolic dinner. To reach their meal guests passed beneath a ladder and under a banner that read “Morituri te Salutamus,” or “Those of us who are about to die salute you.” Thirteen candles lit the first of 13 courses: big platters of lobster salad molded into coffin shape... Thus was born the Thirteen Club." [NY History Blog]
Matting & Framing Options
You can customize your print's presentation from a wide selection of frames and mats: modern or classic - all timeless. See the options here.
Our most popular style is Modern Black - Thin frame, coupled a White Mat with Black Core. The Modern White frames will match any style and are perfect for gifts. Looking for something with more bang? The gold and silver frames may be what you want. See examples here.
Mats are not offered with Gallery frames at the moment (but look great without them!).Frame Sizes
All frames are custom cut and sized to match the dimensions of the image. Your final, framed print might not exactly match the dimensions listed in the Frame Size dropdown menu.
The maximum dimensions of each frame size are:- Keepsake: Up to 5" x 7"
- Accent: Up to 9" x 12"
- Spotlight: Up to 16" x 20"
- Centerpiece: Up to 34" x 36"
- Gallery: Up to 32" x 40"
Because of the original pixel size of the scans, not all prints are available in all sizes.
Shipping & Delivery
Shipping is always free!
Prints will be scanned at the archives, and retouched by our artists to make them pixel-perfect. They will then be reprinted, trimmed, matted and framed to fit their custom sizes.
You should expect the final, framed print in 4-6 weeks. Because each print is custom researched, retouched, and framed, all sales are final.
