Batter Up
Batter Up is a simple but great looking canvas. The feel he's keeing his eye on the ball can also be taken motivationally.
Batter Up makes a great canvas.
Rounders
Rounders may possibly be the ancestor of modern baseball. Another line of thought is the games were regional variants of each other. Although rounders had been played since the 15th century, the first written reference of it was from 1744 where it was called base-ball. A recorded game from 1749 included the Prince of Wales Frederick Louis as one of the players.Batter Up is available on canvases 16 x 12 inches (40 x 30 cm) to 72 x 48 inches (180 x 120 cm).
About the canvases at almadys.com
The manufacturers of of our canvases are simply amazing. Utilising fade-resistant UV protecting archival inks on a heavy weight waterproof canvas is just the start.
It's a great way for you to fill those empty wall spaces. In fact, our canvas prints start at a 16" x 12" piece to a massive 96" x 48". That's about 8 x 4 feet. That's a lot of wall covering!
Most of our customers prefer stretched canvases - canvases that are professionally gallery wrapped, mounted on quality 3-4 cm stretcher frames and are ready to hang, but we also provide 'unstretched' canvas prints. These are great if you intend having them framed or mounted in other ways to match your decor.
Resizing and Cropping
The images and photographs used by Almady's are bound by the dimensions used by the creators of these images. The ratio of the width compared to the height of each image will vary with each creation.
In order to supply the varying sizes of canvas offered at Almady's, we often have to crop images accordingly. Because every image is different, this process is done manually to achieve the best results. The alternative is a lot of
white space which is not aesthetically pleasing.
The following are
examples of how cropped images may appear on canvas. You will notice with the widths and heights of the canvases, varying amounts of the original image will not be used in the finished product.

Gallery Wrapped Canvases
The stretched canvases from Almady's are gallery wrapped. That is to say, the edges of the canvas block are continuations of the image on the face. For most of the artwork we use, this works very well and is the preferred method, but in certain circumstances, we may use the
mirror technique.
Where we feel folding an edge to the side of a canvas may take away important details from the face, we mirror the edge. By doing this, not only do we ensure we do not lose important detail from the face of the canvas, but we also maintain the wrapped look.
The following is illustration of the mirror effect. As you can see in the original artwork, wrapping the canvas the conventional way would take the bottom part of the image away from the face. By mirroring this bottom edge, we are able to maintain the gallery wrap without loss.

Stretcher Bars
Generally we use 3 cm stretcher bars for our canvases. The important thing to note is the depth of the stretched canvas, which will be 3 cm, does not vary. That is, a 16 x 16 inch (40 x 40 cm) canvas will be 3 cm deep and so will a 40 x 40 inch (100 x 100 cm) canvas - or any other size stretched canvas.
