Where Print size

Print: 24 × 36 in, filling the paper (trims 4.6 % of the picture)
Center: 51¼ in (130 cm) from the floor
Above the console table: 8 in (20 cm) from the console table to the frame
Ideal width: 36 to 41 in over a 54 in console table
Why this height: Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 6 to 10 in above the console table, so the 8 in gap sets the height.

24 × 36 in landscape print (61 × 91 cm), centered 51¼ in from the floor, 8 in above the console table. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.
