Description

Lord Stanley, Governor General of Canada, declared in 1892 at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa that a challenge cup should be created and awarded to Canada's top-ranked amateur hockey team. He purchased a silver punch bowl and in the winter of 1893, the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup was awarded for the first time to the Montreal Hockey Club. In the early days, any team from coast to coast could challenge the defending team. For many years challenges would be held multiple times a season. For instance, between 1903 and 1906 the Ottawa Silver Seven defended the cup 11 straight times. As professional leagues took root in 1908 hockey's Holy Grail became known as the Stanley Cup and by 1912 the Cup would be awarded only once per season.

The Inspiration behind our Vintage Stanley Cup Art Print

The design of our Vintage Stanley Cup art print features a photo illustration of Stanley's mug as it was in the early days—a single sterling silver bowl measuring 18.5 centimetres (7.28 inches) in height and 29 centimetres (11.42 inches) in diameter. We have placed the cup over on an antique map of Ottawa dated from around 1912 when the cup evolved into a professional prize. The two hockey sticks crossing over are of similar vintage.

      Paper & Inks

      Paper and ink qualities

      Our prints feature high resolution, detailed images which we reproduce using high quality, archival UV protected inks and our carefully selected satin photo paper. The inks promise unparalleled colour brilliance. Our paper is durable with a low glare finish that promises the best reproduction performance.

      Custom orders are available on gloss, canvas or other materials by special order only.

      Specifications

      Heavy 11 mil base  |  Neutral white  |  Millions of colours   |  Medium water resistance*  |  200 year fade resistance 

      * Inks are resistant to clean water spills. Dab spills with a clean, soft, absorbent cloth immediately. Non-clear liquids will immediately and permanently stain the surface.

      Actual appearance versus Website appearance

      When you view our prints online, they can look different on each computer, tablet or phone you view them from. Technology differences are beyond our control, meaning we cannot absolutely guarantee what you view online and what you receive will appear exactly as you expected. 

      Framing

      Framing made easy (and affordable)

      We hear it all the time... people love to buy art but often decide against it because the cost of framing is an extra expensive. Not at ManMade Art. We founded our store on the principle that high-quality art should be affordable too. Making art accessible to everyone is a core philosophy that we continue to live by and those principles extend to offering you quality framing at a reasonable price. 

      ManMade Art's custom-made, gallery-style frames are made in Canada and include materials 100% sourced from Canadian businesses.


      Choose from two designer finishes

      We make buying art simple. Some of our prints are uniquely-sized and you may it hard to challenging find a frame that fits. Ordering your items in frames solves that problem AND ensures you unwrap your order ready to hang! Choose from matte black lacquer or laminated driftwood finishes crafted from solid wood material.


      Thick acrylic glazing

      Each order is framed behind acrylic, also known as 'plexiglass. Using acrylic ensures your order reaches you safely and unbroken. Acrylic has the same, if not higher, optical clarity as glass. And, unlike big-box store frames that typically use paper-thin acrylic, our glazing is 2mm thick—equal to the thickness of standard framing glass or roughly the thickness of two dimes. 


      ManMade to Order (and hang)

      Every order is installed in its frame with sturdy, rigid framing points and sealed with an acid-free backing sheet that protects your art from infiltrating dust and insects. Combined with a sawtooth hanger and silicone bumpers, your piece will hang perfectly without marking or discolouring your walls.

      Pre-inspection before shipping

      We stand by our products. Each print and frame is inspected for printing defects or damages as it is packaged for shipping. We will not ship prints or framed art we would not be proud to hang on our walls.  

      Damaged in transit

      All orders are carefully packaged in sturdy cardboard containers to protect them from the normal rigours of shipping. If your package arrives damaged, please keep the original packaging and send us photos. We'll get a replacement to you, but we can't process a replacement without seeing the damage first.

      Packaging care and materials

      Every ManMade Art order leaves our studio in packaging custom made for our products, ensuring it arrives in excellent condition. Unfortunately, accidents can happen in transit. If your order arrives damaged, we will replace it. We only ask that you provide photos of the packaging and item damages so we can assess what happened during shipping. 

      Shipping policy and terms

      Please double-check your shipping address and ensure it can be received at your specified address (residence or business). If, for some reason, delivery is denied to the correct address, fear not, we will help you find your order. If we give the shipper the wrong delivery address, we will pay for any extra shipping charges associated with the error. If it is hopelessly lost for reasons beyond our control, unfortunately, we'll have to share the new shipping costs based on our standard rates. Repeat free shipping is a one-time offer not available in these situations.
