Coldstream Fifers - James Tissot Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Two Coldstream fifers have slipped the parade. Scarlet tunics crease into mown grass, bearskin caps still buckled, one slim fife laid across a young man's knee like an unfinished tune. James Tissot found this hour in the 1870s, a French painter newly exiled to Victorian London after the Franco-Prussian War, drawn to the Guards who walked home along Birdcage Walk toward Wellington Barracks. Silver-white lace bars the chest of each young musician, regimental finery gone slack in the grass of a royal park.

Behind them St James’s Park dissolves into pearl-gray haze. Cut hay sits in low heaps like sleeping animals. A pale waterbird stands far out on the green near a paling fence. Farther right, one small smear of scarlet marks a soldier still on duty.

The near man tips his chin under all that black fur, young enough that the cap wears him. This Tissot art print keeps the day damp and soft. Hang this Tissot fine art print where the afternoon light goes thin. The drums will start again soon enough. For now the grass holds these two young men a few minutes longer.
