Fine art prints of places around the world, inspired by antique art and illustrations. Antique illustrations of places were made for many reasons such as: to record what was scenery discovered in travels and expeditions; to educate people; and as part of a detailed study of a particular region.
Our fine art prints of places are based on antique prints made in the period 1600 to 1920.
We make them with superb pigmented inks and heavyweight 300gsm German fine art paper made from 100% cotton and spring water.
