Man with Narrow Tie, Cluett Shirts Ad (1910) - J.C. Leyendecker 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

Leyendecker rendered the Man with Narrow Tie mid-gesture: a lit match cupped in one hand, a cigar held steady at the lips, the small ceremony of a young gentleman pausing before he speaks.

This 1910 advertisement for Cluett Shirts sold more than pinstriped cotton and a starched detachable collar. It sold a template for American masculinity, aspirational and clean-jawed, built for magazine pages that reached millions of households.

The pink stripe of his shirt catches loose, visible brushwork, each stroke left raw rather than blended, a technique Leyendecker borrowed from his training under Howard Pyle's Brandywine tradition. His black four-in-hand necktie drops straight against the shirt's placket, echoed by a black belt with its gold buckle catching light.

Behind him, the background dissolves into gray-white scumbling, atmosphere rather than room. A brass match-holder waits on a side table, small proof of a domestic interior otherwise stripped bare. Turn-of-the-century menswear illustration rarely allowed such intimacy. Golden Age illustration meeting commercial portraiture. The collar becoming a shorthand for the clean-cut American bachelor gracing streetcar posters and magazine spreads nationwide.
