She was the last woman in Islamic history to hold the title al-Hurra, the free.

Country of origin: designed in the United Kingdom and printed to order in your own region, so US orders are printed and shipped within the US with no customs charges or import duty. This is an original paper art print.
Printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, uncoated finish that holds deep colour without glare. The paper is FSC certified and archival quality, so the artwork will not yellow over time.
Poster only: the print on its own, rolled and shipped in a protective tube, ready for your own frame or hanger. The most affordable option if you already have framing in mind.
Poster with wooden hanger: a black pine hanger with a matching leather cord. Magnetic strips grip the top and bottom of the print without damaging it, so fitting takes seconds and the print can be swapped or framed later. A good choice for renters or anyone who likes to restyle.
Framed print: a slim black aluminium frame, around 1 cm wide, with a shatterproof acrylic front and hanging kit included. The print and frame arrive together in one box, with simple fitting by hand in a couple of minutes.
