How could this be seen in a church in 1692 when it wasn't written until 1948?

1692 is the date the church was founded. This particular church had a history of including the Desiderata Poem (written by Max Ehrmann in 1927) in its Sunday Bulletins.

How wide are the margins (top, bottom, sides)? Thanks

Without the copyright markings=my original design on Archival Parchment has 1 1/8" side margins & 3/4" top/bottom margins. No tellin what the dimensions would be with the other sellers. I test ordered 1 once and it came in a different size, paper & color.

Crisp, quality printing and nice paper.

Perfect. Quality. Have it posted in my home gym. Much more motivating than a cheesy 'motivational' poster. Something you can read a single sentence of, or the entire passage over and over again. The paper is quality and is as described. Printing is crisp.

Desiderata

Absolutely beautiful. It had two slight folds in it, which I had to iron out. It also came with a small version which I appreciated the little bonus. But once framed, it was beautiful! I love it very much.

Lovely !

Received two posters from this artist and both are beautiful. The colors are soft, but stand on their own. I display the poster with a ( no frame ) glass, on a picture stand in my study. I read the message and start my day on a happy note. The colors are calming, love them. Ordering again some smaller posters. You will not be disappointed!
