Posters Amsterdam
Amsterdam as seen by our artists: the narrow canal facades, the bridges and the bicycles. Each poster is a personal reading of travel, hand-printed on 270 gsm photo paper with a semi-matte finish in our workshop in Fayence.
Choosing your Amsterdam poster
Which Amsterdam poster should you choose?
Amsterdam comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same city:
- Amsterdam canals poster: bridges, barges, narrow houses at the water's edge.
- Gabled houses poster: spout, bell or step gables, lined up and leaning.
- Bicycle in Amsterdam poster: the most asked-for scene, a bike leaning on a railing.
- Amsterdam map or city plan poster: the canal belt, the districts traced in line.
- Black and white Amsterdam poster: brick, water, low sky, contrasts without colour.
- Vintage Amsterdam poster: old advertisements, a shipping-line feel, sepia tones.
The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.
Where should you hang an Amsterdam poster?
- Living room: a canal view in a large size, alone above the sofa.
- Office: a line drawing of facades, calm and legible beside the screen.
- Entrance: a map of Amsterdam, to place the city from the door.
- Hallway: a series of three Dutch cities, same size and same frame.
- Bedroom: a settled view of the water, with no dense facade detail.
Tip: a canal view is horizontal. Set it above a low piece of furniture rather than between two tall ones, so the waterline can breathe.
Amsterdam poster: illustration or photograph?
- Illustration simplifies: gable silhouettes, flat areas, a supple line, immediate reading.
- Photography keeps the material: brick, reflections, shifting sky, dense detail.
- At a small size, illustration stays legible where a photograph closes up.
- On a large bare wall, photography gives depth and holds on its own.
Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?
All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image is also available on a metal plate, in several sizes.
- With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
- Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
