About This Art

On a bright afternoon, the white paper looks almost illegally fresh. The black ink reads clean and the joke lands without trying too hard.

It gives a bathroom or a guest loo something to look at. The handwritten patent text and the careful line drawing do the work — it's wry without being shouty, and it pulls focus away from the usual towel rail and mirror routine.

Hang it at eye level above the cistern, beside the basin, or in a small downstairs loo where every wall counts. It also earns its place in a kitchen as a kind of dry historical footnote.

Works with chrome taps, white tile, painted timber, and dark walls. A black wood frame keeps the patent-document feel intact.

Don't bury it in a serious gallery wall of landscapes — the joke needs room to breathe. Stretched canvas, ready to hang straight from the box.

Are Fab canvas prints good quality?

Absolutely. We use museum-grade canvas (the same stuff galleries use) stretched over solid wood frames. The canvas is thick enough that you can't see through it, and we wrap the print around the edges so there's no white border it looks finished from every angle.

When people see it on your wall, they'll assume you bought it at a gallery, not online.

Does it come ready to hang? Is it available framed?

Yes to both. Every canvas comes stretched over solid wood and ready to hang - hardware's already on the back, just hang it up.

You can choose unframed (modern, minimalist look - the print wraps around the edges) or add our real wood frame for a more polished, gallery finish. Either way, it's ready to go straight on your wall. No assembly, no extra trips to the frame shop.

How do I know what size will actually work in my space?

Here's the rule of thumb: your canvas should take up about 2/3 to 3/4 of the width of your furniture (like a sofa or bed). So if your couch is 180cm, you want something around 100-120cm wide.

Too small of a canvas looks lost on the wall. Too big overwhelms the room. If you're between sizes, go bigger it's almost always better to have impact than to have something that disappears.

Still not sure? Contact our team with a photo of your space and we'll tell you exactly what size will work.

What's your return policy?

If it shows up and you're not happy with it, you have 99 days to return it for a full refund—no questions asked.

We've been doing this long enough to know that sometimes a piece just doesn't work in your space, and that's fine. Just email us and we'll sort it out.

Is the handwritten patent text actually readable up close?

Yes. The print preserves the original drawing's line weight and the handwritten labels, so at normal bathroom viewing distance — half a metre or so — you can read the figure annotations and the patent number clearly. From across the room it reads as a tidy black and white technical illustration.

Does it settle the over-or-under toilet paper debate?

The original 1891 drawing shows the paper hanging over the front of the roll, so technically yes. It's a quiet punchline rather than a loud one — guests usually notice it on the second visit. That's part of why it works as a bathroom piece.

Will it look out of place in a modern bathroom?

No. Black line work on white sits cleanly against white tile, chrome fittings, dark painted walls or pale timber. It reads as a small confident accent rather than a vintage flourish, so it slots into modern, traditional and farmhouse bathrooms without changing the room's tone.
