The Grand Prismatic Spring from directly above — concentric rings of burnt orange, gold and deep teal, steam curling off the rim, and two walkers on the boardwalk small enough to show you how big it really is.
Layered teal ranges sit on the horizon, a dark pine treeline frames the basin, and gold cloud bars break up a cream sky. YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK is set in bold condensed type across the base.
Printed to order on heavyweight matte art paper with a smooth, low-glare surface that suits flat colour work — the blocks stay solid and the type stays crisp right to the edge.
- Paper: 189 g/m² heavyweight matte art paper, milled in Japan
- Thickness: 10.3 mil — substantial in the hand, hangs flat, resists curling
- Opacity: 94% — no wall colour or backing board showing through
- Brightness: ISO 104% — whites stay clean, the flat colour blocks stay true
- Finish: smooth matte, no glare under lamplight or window light

Framing and hanging
- Ships unframed, rolled in a protective tube
- Drops straight into a standard 12×18, 18×24 or 24×36 frame
- A 2″ white mat gives it the gallery look without a custom frame
- Frameless options work too — magnetic poster rails or wooden hangers suit the flat graphic style
- Hang out of direct midday sun to keep the colour blocks rich for years
Quick answers
What size should I get? 18″×24″ is the safe default for most walls. Go 12″×18″ for a gallery-wall cluster or a narrow hallway, and 24″×36″ when the poster is meant to be the focal point of the room.
Does it come framed? No — it ships unframed and rolled in a tube, which keeps the price down and lets you match your own frame. All three sizes are standard US frame sizes.
Is this a reprint of an old poster? No. It is an original illustration drawn in the 1930s national-park travel-poster tradition — the flat colour blocks, bold type and screen-print feel of that era, composed fresh for Yellowstone National Park. It is not a copy of any historical or contemporary poster.
Who is this for? Anyone who has stood on that boardwalk, and anyone planning to. It reads as a travel keepsake rather than souvenir-shop merch, so it works in a living room, office or a kid's room without looking out of place.
