Some walls want a view; this one wants a street. A bicycle against the wall, green shutters, bougainvillea climbing the right-hand house, and the bell tower and rose window rising behind the roofs — an original vintage-style illustration of Valldemossa, printed to order and delivered in a black wood frame, ready to hang the day it arrives. A gift for anyone who has walked that lane, or means to.
The design is drawn flat — an eye-level view up a cobbled lane, with a bicycle leaning on a low stone wall at the left, terracotta pots of white, pink and red flowers along both sides, honey-stone houses with green louvred shutters closing in on either hand and pink bougainvillea climbing the right-hand facade, a wrought-iron lantern on the wall of the house beside it. Behind the terracotta roofs a bell tower with bells in its arches and a tiered cupola stands centred, a smaller domed tower at its left and a church facade with a rose window and cross at its right, with blue-grey mountains, cypresses and a blue sky with small white clouds beyond, and olive branches overhanging the top-left corner. Valldemossa sits in white serif in the sky above the tower, MALLORCA, SPAIN letter-spaced beneath it between two thin rules, the whole worked in honey gold, cerulean blue, forest green, terracotta and bougainvillea pink inside a cream border. 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.
Where is Valldemossa, and what is it known for?
Valldemossa is a hill village in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains of north-west Mallorca, a short drive from Palma; the range was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape in 2011. The village is best known for the Real Cartuja, the former Carthusian monastery where Frédéric Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838 to 1839.
