WWII Wall Art
Alfred Eisenstaedt’s mission through this photograph was to “to find and catch the storytelling moment.” In this post-WWII photograph in Times Square, he did just that.
His famous photograph, shot in 1945, of the soldier and dental nurse has become one of the most iconic images of the 20th century, signifying the joyous end to years of war.
A great image for framing behind glass, or block mounting on canvas to create a focal point and conversation piece in history lover's home.
For your ease of shopping, we offer 7 standard landscape/portrait sizes, and 6 square sizes, of which all are available as ready-to-hang mounted canvas (with or without a floating frame) and all but the largest size are available as framed prints (behind glass).
The standard sizes reflect the outside dimensions of the frame or canvas.
For framed prints - within those dimensions sits the frame, mounting card, and print.
For mounted canvas - outside those dimensions sits the 10mm space and 10mm floating frame (if chosen).
The table below shows the exact dimensions of each element of each product, although we also make-to-order bespoke sizes for a small surcharge.

Printing
We only list art & photography that can be printed up to 3m in size at 300dpi resolution.
On photographs taken a long time ago you may see some graininess, or the canvas texture in some artworks, but this is how the original looks and how it is meant to be reproduced - you never see pixelation in canvas or framed prints from Pixalot, whichever size you purchase.
The in-situ renders you see here are low resolution for website speed purposes, but you are welcome to request a section of the high resoltion image to see the detail you will see on your purchase.
We print on a colour calibrated Epson printer for picture-perfect results.

Because we also manufacture for top interior designers and luxury decor brands, we do not import cheap product from China, unlike other wall art suppliers.
We make-to-order in our studio in Cape Town, using the highest quality materials and most skilled local craftsmen. We use only the finest wood frames (black, white, ash wood) canvas, mounting card and glass available, and whereas most retailers use 25mm subframes, we stretch the canvas over 45mm subframes, which gives it gravitas on the wall.
All products come ready-to-hang with the necessary brackets, screws and wall plugs.

The framed images and mirrors can be cleaned with standard window cleaner for the glass and a damp cloth on the frames. Please don't use chemicals on the frames.
The canvases come with a protective matt varnish applied, and should also be cleaned only with a damp cloth, not chemicals.
