Posters mons

Mons as seen by our artists: the belfry, the Grand-Place and the circular plan of the old town. Each poster is a personal reading of travel, hand-printed on 220 gsm art paper with an anti-glare satin finish in our workshop in Grasse.

Bien choisir votre affiche Mons

Which Mons poster should you choose?

Mons comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same town:

  • Mons belfry poster: the baroque tower on the hill, the town's most recognisable silhouette.
  • Grand-Place poster: the town hall, the gables, the open square at the foot of the climb.
  • Mons map or town plan poster: the ring-shaped centre, the ramparts, the streets traced in line.
  • Sainte-Waudru collegiate church poster: Brabantine Gothic, a high nave, pale stone.
  • Black and white Mons poster: cobbles, facades, contrasts without colour.
  • Hainaut and Mons poster: slag heaps, countryside, an earth and green palette.

The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.

Where should you hang a Mons poster?

  • Living room: the circular plan or the Grand-Place, alone above the sofa.
  • Office: a town plan, precise and calm beside the screen.
  • Entrance: the belfry, recognised at once from the door.
  • Hallway: a series of three Walloon towns, same size and same frame.
  • Bedroom: a blue and beige palette, settled, with no hard contrast.

Tip: a circular plan is looked at closely, like a map. Place it at eye level, somewhere people stop, not above a door.

Mons poster: plan or landmark?

  • The plan tells the shape of the town: ring, streets, squares, a slow and precise reading.
  • The landmark tells its silhouette: belfry, spire, gables, an immediate reading.
  • In a hallway or an entrance, the landmark names the place in a second.
  • In an office or a room where people sit, the plan holds the eye for longer.

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 fine art paper, not on canvas or metal.

  • With frame: black, white, oak or walnut, assembled and ready to hang.
  • Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
