Ordering Landscape with Trees at the Size You Actually Need
Custom sizing is the part of print buying most shops make hardest. Here is how it works for Hodgkins' landscapes, what it costs, and where the limits sit.
Yes, in principle. Custom-sized reproductions of Frances Hodgkins' Landscape with Trees are obtainable from print studios that work from licensed images, and most will scale a work between roughly 30 cm and 150 cm on its longest side. Note that Auvrique does not currently carry Hodgkins editions, so this is a guide to ordering elsewhere rather than a product page.
The Short Answer on Custom Sizes
Custom sizing is a normal service in the reproduction trade, not a special request. Most studios print from a high-resolution scan and can output a work at almost any dimension within the limits of that file. For a landscape composition like Landscape with Trees, that typically means anything from a small 30 cm shelf-scale print up to a statement piece around 120 or 150 cm wide.
The honest caveat comes first. Auvrique does not currently offer Frances Hodgkins editions, so the practical route is a specialist print studio or a gallery print service that holds a licensed image of the painting. Ask two things before ordering. Whether their source file is high enough resolution for the size you want, and whether the aspect ratio of the original is preserved or cropped to fit standard frames.
What Custom Sizing Actually Costs
Price scales with area, not with length. A print doubled in each direction costs roughly four times as much to produce, which is why a 40 cm print and an 80 cm print sit in different price brackets entirely. As a broad guide, expect a small custom giclée to start around £25 to £50, with larger framed pieces moving into the £150 to £400 range depending on framing choices.
Two costs catch buyers out. The first is non-standard framing, which is priced per metre of moulding and can exceed the print itself at larger sizes. The second is the temptation to upscale beyond what the source image supports. A scan stretched past its resolution softens visibly at viewing distance, and no amount of framing rescues it. If a studio cannot confirm the file quality at your size, choose a smaller print.
Before You Order
- Confirm the studio holds a licensed, high-resolution image of the specific painting.
- Ask whether the original aspect ratio is kept or the image is cropped to a standard frame size.
- Request the maximum recommended print size for their source file in writing.
- Price the frame separately, since custom moulding often costs more than the print.
Getting the Proportions Right for Your Wall
Hodgkins worked across a long career, from her New Zealand beginnings through her decades in Britain, and her landscapes tend toward loose, asymmetric compositions rather than formal symmetry. That matters for sizing. A cropped version of Landscape with Trees will lose different elements depending on where the cut falls, and her compositions do not always survive a trim to a standard 2:3 ratio gracefully.
The practical approach is to keep the original proportions and adjust the overall dimensions instead. If your wall wants a 90 cm width but the painting's ratio gives an awkward height, adjust both dimensions proportionally rather than cropping. Most studios will show you a digital proof of the exact crop before printing. Ask for it. It costs nothing and settles the question in one look.
The frame is usually the expensive half of a custom print. Budget for it before you fall in love with a size.
| Longest side | Typical use | Indicative price band |
|---|---|---|
| 30 to 50 cm | Shelf, hallway, paired prints | £25 to £80 |
| 60 to 90 cm | Standard living room wall | £80 to £200 |
| 100 to 150 cm | Statement piece, large wall | £200 to £450 framed |

Key takeaways
- Custom-sized reproductions of Landscape with Trees are available from specialist print studios, though Auvrique does not currently carry Hodgkins editions.
- Most studios can print between roughly 30 cm and 150 cm on the longest side, limited by the resolution of their source file.
- Keep the original aspect ratio rather than cropping to a standard frame size, and request a digital proof first.
- Custom framing often costs more than the print itself, so price the frame before fixing your dimensions.
Related questions
Will a custom-sized print lose image quality compared to a standard size?
Not if you stay within the resolution of the source file. Quality problems appear when a scan is enlarged past its limit, which softens detail at normal viewing distance. Ask the studio for the maximum recommended size for their file. If they cannot answer clearly, treat that as the answer and size down.
Can I order Landscape with Trees cropped to fit a standard frame?
Most studios will crop on request, but it is worth resisting here. Hodgkins' landscape compositions are loosely balanced, and a trim to a standard 2:3 ratio can remove elements the painting depends on. Keeping the original proportions and adjusting overall dimensions usually gives a better result on the wall.
Is a custom size more expensive than a standard print size?
Usually yes, by a modest margin. Non-standard dimensions mean non-standard framing, and moulding is priced by the metre. The printing cost difference is small at sizes under 60 cm. The real considered sits in the frame, so get a framing quote alongside the print quote before you commit to a dimension.
