The woven Guatemalan textile strip along the foot is what makes this one in a black frame — its oranges pick up the peach in the bougainvillea, its blues the lake, and it gives the frame a proper edge to close on. An original vintage-style travel poster of Lake Atitlán, printed to order and delivered in a black wood frame, ready to hang or to hand over to someone who never quite left Panajachel.
The design is drawn flat — an elevated view from a hillside terrace across a deep sapphire lake, a single white lancha trailing a wake mid-water, and a purple-blue volcano rising on the far shore beside layered blue ridges and tall cumulus clouds. Magenta, pink and peach bougainvillea fills the lower left, a golden-green shrub and red-flowering bushes flank a whitewashed terrace wall cutting diagonally across the foot, and a woven Guatemalan textile band in orange, red, blue and teal runs along the bottom edge. The lettering sits in the sky: small LAKE between diamond-tipped rules, ATITLÁN large in cream serif capitals, and GUATEMALA in orange beneath a small diamond ornament, worked in sapphire blue, sky blue, cream, magenta and orange. It is printed on 189 g/m² heavyweight matte art paper, 10.3 mil thick — an uncoated stock that keeps the flat colour edges crisp without a hint of glare — and arrives framed in slim black ayous wood behind an acrylite front protector, with the hanging hardware already fitted.

Quick answers
Does it come framed, and in what sizes?
Yes — 12″ × 18″, 18″ × 24″, or 24″ × 36″ portrait in a black ayous wood frame, 0.75″ (1.9 cm) thick, with an acrylite front protector and the hanging hardware already fitted. It arrives ready to hang.
Which size should I choose?
The 12″ × 18″ works well for desk nooks, hallways, gallery walls, and gifting. The 18″ × 24″ is a versatile choice above a sofa, bed, or console. The 24″ × 36″ creates more impact in living rooms, above larger furniture, or as a statement wall piece.
Is this a reprint of a vintage original?
No. It is an original illustration drawn in the mid-century travel-poster tradition — flat colour, clean edges, bold lettering — and a new composition made for RaZits. It is not a scan of a historic print.
Is that volcano real?
Yes — Lake Atitlán fills a volcanic caldera in Guatemala's western highlands and is ringed by three volcanoes: Atitlán, Tolimán and San Pedro. It is the deepest lake in Central America, and the lanchas in the picture are the public boats that link shore villages such as Panajachel, San Pedro La Laguna and Santiago Atitlán.
