Norbury's longest day lasts around 17 hours. Its shortest, around 8 hours. That range — that arc of light across a year — is what this poster shows.
Questions
What does the poster actually show?

A smooth curve tracing the hours of daylight for every day of the year in Norbury — from the shortest day in winter to the longest in summer and back again. The X axis is the calendar; the Y axis is daylight duration. The chart is framed with the city name, coordinates, and year. An optional occasion marker pins a specific date on the curve.

How accurate is the astronomy for Norbury?

Very. Daylight hours are computed using Spencer's (1971) solar declination formula with a −0.833° correction for atmospheric refraction and the sun's semi-diameter — matching the standard used by professional almanacs. The coordinates used are 52.53333, -2.95.

What size is the print and what paper?

50×70 cm (approx. 20×28 in) on 170 gsm uncoated matte paper. It prints at 300 dpi from a 5906×8268 px source file. The finish is soft and anti-reflective. Frame not included.

Where do you ship to, and how long does it take?
