Vintage Sleeping Above Manhattan Wall Art
Shot on the same day in 1932 as Lunch atop a Skyscraper, but far less well known.
Please note: this photograph was taken on film almost 100 years ago(!) it does not have the hairline resolution of a modern day digital image, but the soft appearance is what adds to its authenticity.
A great image for framing behind glass, or block mounting on canvas to create a focal point and conversation piece in any contemporary home.
For your ease of shopping, we offer a range of standard landscape, portrait & square sizes, but also make custom sizes on request, for a small surcharge.
The standard sizes reflect the outside dimensions of a mounted canvas or framed print.
For framed prints - within those dimensions sits the frame, window mount, and print itself.
For mounted canvas + floating frame - outside those dimensions is the floating gap and the frame.
Whilst all standard mounted canvases (without a floating frame) are on 50mm deep box frames, the mounted canvases + floating frame, and the framed prints vary depending on the size you select. Below is a detailed table of those exact dimensions:

Framed Prints, behind glass, with 22mm gallery frames in black, white, wood (& other colours for a surcharge):
Mounted Canvas, ready-to-hang, with optional 10mm floating frame in black, white, wood (& other colours for a 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.
