This one catches that light — the white steamship mid-crossing, the white lakeside houses on the shore catching the sun, the serrated range glowing gold behind it. An original vintage-style New Zealand travel poster of the lake that made Queenstown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is drawn flat — an elevated view from a lakeside hill across deep-blue water, with a white twin-masted steamship and its single dark funnel set right of centre on the lake, a golden reflection beneath it and a small red-and-white flag flying from one end of the deck. White lakeside houses, jetties and dark poplars gather on the left shore, conical conifers and golden scrub frame the bottom-left corner, and behind it all the serrated wall of The Remarkables rises over rolling tussock foothills, its faces lit warm gold under a clear blue sky with a few soft clouds. A letter-spaced LAKE sits above WAKATIPU in large cream serif capitals, with NEW ZEALAND in terracotta beneath, all set over the sky, the whole worked in lake blue, warm gold, cream and terracotta with slate-purple shadow in the rock. 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\u003e16\"\" × 20\"\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 × 20 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.
