It crouches in the reeds. An original vintage-style travel poster of the highest navigable lake in the world, seen from reed level through a wall of golden totora with a lone reed boat sitting on rippled cobalt water — lake wall art with a very specific address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is drawn flat — a low view from inside a dense bank of golden totora reeds that sweeps up the left edge and across the foot of the scene, out to a single empty reed boat with bound, upturned prow and stern riding cobalt-blue water. Beyond it a thin line of golden reeds edges the far water beneath plum-brown hills and a pale cream haze bank, under a high sky banked with cream cumulus. LAKE above TITICACA and the line THE HIGHEST NAVIGABLE LAKE IN THE WORLD are set between diamond-tipped rules in the clear blue above the clouds, worked in golden yellow, cobalt, sky blue, cream and plum. 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\u003e18\"\" × 24\"\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 × 22.5 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 \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.
