Using it on a cover

The print file prints up to 11.3 x 9.4 in at 300 ppi — enough for a full 6 x 9 in front cover. Wider than a 6 x 9 cover: crop about 45% of the width, or use it as a wraparound across back and spine.

About the work

Van de Velde and his father picked up their lives in Amsterdam in 1672 and moved to England to paint for the king. Their paintings of the Royal Navy’s massive ships celebrated England’s power in war and trade.
