About This Image
A.E. Housman – Loveliest of Trees Poem Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.
This poem canvas print features the beautiful poem “Loveliest of Trees” by A.E. Housman. It was written about 1895 and published in his 1896 book of poetry titled “A Shropshire Lad.” When I read this poem for the first time in a high school English class it spoke to me. All these years later it still speaks to me even as the seasons pass by with wearying speed!
I was inspired to try my hand at illustrating this poem as you can see in this poem canvas print. It features the text of the poem and the title along with A.E. Housman’s name. I figure I must not be the only person out there who was so moved by this poem to have it live in their heads years after reading it the first time. In fact, in my 20’s I bought a copy of A Shropshire Lad to read. Thoroughly enjoyed it but this will always remain the one poem that deeply connected to me for some reason.
The text of the poem follows in case you’re on a device where reading the image is more difficult.
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
I hope you enjoy the art I worked on to go with this favorite poem of mine. And if you’ve never encountered it before, I hope you find the message to make the most of time as meaningful and motivational as I have over the years.
Canvas Prints – Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a great choice for decorating your home or office. Canvas art is a classic choice that is at home in traditional and modern decor alike.
After the purchase of your canvas print, it is made to your order. The artwork is printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas. The use of archival inks and substrate means that your canvas art print should last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
When ordering your print, you have a choice between glossy and matte finishes. While I ordinarily love matte finishes on prints, I do like the sheen that comes on glossy canvas prints. Ultimately I would suggest letting the amount of light in your space guide your choice. In a brightly lit environment, I would lean towards a matte finish to reduce the chance of glare.
There are three wrap styles to choose from for canvas prints. The mirrored wrap choice mirrors and extends the image to the sides of the canvas wrap (without losing any of the original artwork on the front). The majority of the time I would suggest this is the best choice. The other two options are a solid black wrap or white wrap. You can see a preview of each option when selecting wrap color.
After printing, the canvas is stretched over and secured to a wooden frame of 1.5″ by 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes from 5 to 7 business days. Your artwork will arrive in sturdy packaging. The hanging wire will be attached and all hardware necessary to hang your canvas print will be included. Canvas prints are a great ready-to-hang option.
