Twice Up Art

[welcomebackpotter]

A couple of times on Ebay I seen OA that's been described as twice up art.

What does that mean ?

In the "olden" days, art used to be bigger than 11x17. I don't remember the exact dimensions, (somewhere around ~13x18?) but it used to be 4 times the size of a comic book, double the dimensions on both length and width - hence twice up.

 

That size is still sometimes used in modern pages, depending on the artist and book, but its rare.
