A typewritten passage in black ink on cream paper presents a reflective quotation about the passage of time and growing wisdom, attributed to Mark Twain in handwritten script below. The composition is spare and centered, with the text arranged in loose, ragged lines that convey an intimate, personal quality reminiscent of a letter or manuscript page. At home in a study, library, or anywhere inspiration and perspective are valued. Printed to order directly onto lightweight aluminum with a high-gloss finish that makes color and detail pop and resists fading over time. A wood backing floats it about three-quarters of an inch off the wall and holds the wire or sawtooth hanger. Available from mini to large, it is original art with a modern, durable edge, not a quick print off a shelf.
