The sun is low enough here that the orange trees stripe the flagstones with long blue shadows and the pavement turns the colour of sand. An original vintage-style travel poster of Sóller's orange tram curving through town — orange trees heavy with fruit on one side, black-iron balconies on the other, a church tower waiting on the hill. A Mallorca poster for anyone who heard the tram's bell before they saw it.
The design is drawn flat — an eye-level view up a sunlit avenue, twin tram rails curving across pale flagstones toward the viewer, the orange wooden tram angled three-quarter on the right with its headlamp and roof pantograph, a row of fruit-laden orange trees and a scatter of small pedestrians along the left pavement, cream townhouses with black wrought-iron balconies and wooden shutters filling the right edge, and a hillside of pastel houses rising to a church bell tower and dome under a clear blue sky. Sóller sits large in the sky in a cream serif, with MALLORCA, SPAIN spaced in small caps beneath it between two thin rules, and an orange-tree branch framing the top-left corner. Worked in burnt orange, cream, sky blue, warm sand and a deep blue-grey for the shadows. 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.
- Paper: 189 g/m2 (10.3 mil) heavyweight matte art stock — substantial enough to hang unframed without curling
- Finish: uncoated matte — no glare under lamps, windows or gallery lighting
- Opacity: 94%, so a wall colour or a second sheet behind it never shows through
- Brightness: 104% ISO — a bright white base that keeps the flat colour blocks saturated
- Origin: paper milled in Japan; every poster is printed to order, never warehoused
Size chart
| Poster size | Art panel (centred) | Works well |
|---|---|---|
| 12"" × 18"" | 12 × 15 in | desk shelves, small nooks, gallery-wall filler |
| 18"" × 24"" | 18 × 22.5 in | bedrooms, home offices, above a console or sofa |
| 24"" × 36"" | 24 × 30 in | living rooms, stairwells, a single statement wall |
The 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. Ships rolled in a protective tube, unframed.
Quick answers
Which size should I order? The 18″ × 24″ is the safe default for most walls. Take the 12″ × 18″ for a desk, a shelf or as part of a gallery cluster, and the 24″ × 36″ when the poster is meant to be the focal point of the room.
Does it come framed? No — it ships rolled and unframed in a protective tube. All three sizes are standard US frame sizes, so a shop-bought frame fits without a custom mat. A ready-to-hang framed version of this design is listed separately.
Is this a reprint of an old travel poster? 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 the orange tram in Sóller real? Yes. The Tranvía de Sóller has run since 1913, linking the town of Sóller with Port de Sóller about 5 km away on the coast, and its vintage wooden cars still carry passengers along the route. It meets the historic narrow-gauge railway from Palma, which opened in 1912, at Sóller station.
Sóller at golden hour — the tram, the oranges, the long shadows.
