Delivery and care

How long will it take?

Each edition is made to order in London. See our delivery information for current timings and shipping options.

Which number will I get?

The next one in the run. Numbers are given in the order editions are bought, so the number cannot be chosen.

Can I change the frame or mount?

Not on the edition: the print, mount and frame together are what make it the edition. The regular print can be framed any way you like.

How should I look after it?

Hang it out of direct sunlight and away from damp. Dust the frame with a dry cloth and clean the acrylic with a soft cloth and a little water, never with glass cleaner.

Can I return it?

See our returns policy for full details, or contact us with a question about this edition.
