About This Art
There's a reason Nelly Littlehale Murphy kept returning to mischievous animal characters; rooms still respond. This 1896 magazine cover lands somewhere between Victorian parlour humour and turn-of-the-century poster art, and it brings instant personality to a quiet wall. The bright orange ground does the heavy lifting — it warms up cream walls and cuts cleanly against deep green or navy paint. Hang it in a study, a reading corner, a teenager's room, or the kind of hallway that needs a smile on the way past. It sits well next to leather, oak, vintage rugs and second-hand bookshelves. Skip it if your walls are already loud — this print prefers to be the talking point.

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.
Will the bright orange dominate a small room?
It will be the focal point, but the cream borders and warm brown linework calm it down. In a small room it actually warms the space rather than shouting. Hang it on a darker or off-white wall and keep the rest of the room quiet — neutral textiles, plain shelving — and it sits comfortably.
Does it work in a kid's room or only an adult space?
Both. The banjo cat and grumpy hare have a storybook quality that kids enjoy, and the original 1890s illustration style sits well in a study or reading corner for adults. It's not babyish, so it travels with the room as a child grows.
Will the text and small print at the bottom be legible?
Yes at medium size and above — the March 1896 date, story titles and contributor names all read clearly from normal viewing distance. At the smallest size the names become decorative texture rather than legible type, which still looks correct for a vintage cover.
