Mimosa and bougainvillea heap themselves over the crown of the stone arch on this stepped lane, and framed through the opening is a domed bell tower over terracotta roofs. An original vintage-style France travel poster of Bormes-les-Mimosas, the hill village behind the Var coast of Provence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is drawn flat — an eye-level view up a narrow stone stairway in bright midday sun, terracotta urns on the steps and a pale-blue door and louvred shutters on the honey-coloured wall at left, the rounded arch ahead heaped with golden mimosa and magenta bougainvillea, a black iron lantern on its right pier, and through the opening a cream bell tower with a small dome against a deep blue sky over terracotta rooftops. BORMES-LES-MIMOSAS sits across the top in oversized serif capitals with PROVENCE, FRANCE beneath it between short rules, the whole piece worked in golden yellow, magenta, sandstone ochre, cornflower blue and terracotta. Printed to order on heavyweight matte art paper with a smooth, uncoated surface that keeps those hard colour edges crisp and readable from across the room. No glare, no plastic sheen, no photograph: just paper and ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e 189 g\/m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e (10.3 mil) heavyweight matte art stock — substantial enough to hang unframed without curling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e uncoated matte — no glare under lamps, windows or gallery lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94%, so a wall colour or a second sheet behind it never shows through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrightness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104% ISO — a bright white base that keeps the flat colour blocks saturated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e paper milled in Japan; every poster is printed to order, never warehoused\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePoster size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArt panel (centred)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWorks well\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\"\" × 18\"\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 × 15 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003edesk shelves, small nooks, gallery-wall filler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5\"\" × 23.3\"\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5 × 20.5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebedrooms, home offices, above a console or sofa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24\"\" × 36\"\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 × 30 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eliving rooms, stairwells, a single statement wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe illustration is a 4:5 panel centred on the sheet with an even margin above and below, so it sits well in an off-the-shelf frame with or without a mat.
