FAQ
What is a difference between a Poster and a Vintage Print?
Vintage prints are authentic book plates from the 19th-20th century. They come in fixed sizes, ship only from Switzerland and are in very limited quantities.
Posters are high-quality reprints of those prints, available in a choice of larger sizes. They are printed just for you in the location closest to you.
Where will my Poster be produced?
The charm of antiques, the durability of modern printing!

How was my poster/canvas created?
Posters/canvases are made by scanning original French vintage prints at very high resolution. The original prints were intended to be seen at a much smaller magnification so that some printing defects, present in the original, may appear with a large size poster. I have chosen to keep these defects as they are part of the charm of antique prints.
Will my poster/canvas have a margin?
Please check the product pictures for an idea of the proportions for each size. Each poster/canvas has a margin all around for easy framing. Margins' sizes vary with each format as the original illustrations were created at specific formats which are not necessarily identical to modern print formats. Please check the images for reference.
