About this work

NASA sets this frame beside Bill Anders' Earthrise, made from Apollo 8 fifty-eight years earlier. On 6 April 2026 the Artemis II crew came around the far side of the Moon and watched Earth go down behind it. While they were over that side they photographed and described impact craters, ancient lava flows, and the cracks and ridges the surface has taken on as it aged.

The lunar limb fills the lower third of the frame as a convex grey edge with its craters resolved, and the crater Ohm lies in the foreground. Earth sits just above that edge and left of centre, gibbous, most of the disc lit. Above both, the sky is genuinely black and covers about half the picture, with no star resolved anywhere in it.

Materials

Metal
The edge of a Madtag aluminium print, a thin bright line, floating clear of a dark wall.

Nothing between you and the picture.

  • The surface for work that wants light.
  • Colour at full strength; blacks hold their depth.
  • Sealed under gloss: no frame, no glazing.
  • 3 mm aluminium composite, floats clear of the wall.
Arrives flat, hanging system included
Paper
A Madtag print on a sheet of matte fine art paper, curling at one corner to show its thickness.

Hahnemühle, not poster paper.

  • When you want the best.
  • Unframed, it is Hahnemühle: photographs on Photo Rag 308, 100% cotton.
  • Painterly work on German Etching 310, mould-made and textured.
  • Over 300 gsm, printed as a pigment giclée.
Arrives rolled in a Madtag tube
Framed
The corner of a Madtag print in a black wood frame, the sheet flush against the moulding behind acrylic, no mount board.

For the wall you want finished.

  • Framed and finished; no trip to a framer.
  • A different print: 200 gsm coated silk, made as one piece.
  • Black, white or natural wood moulding.
  • Acrylic glazing, no mount board: the sheet fills the frame.
Arrives flat in its frame
Canvas
A Madtag print on stretched canvas with a solid black wrapped edge.

Nothing lost around the corner.

  • Occupies the room rather than hanging flat.
  • Stretched over a 40 mm deep FSC wood frame.
  • No glazing; the weave itself takes the light.
  • The picture stops at the face; edges solid black, always.
