Termini e condizioni completi
L’offerta del collezionista si applica alle opere idonee nelle configurazioni standard realizzate su ordinazione. Sono esclusi i formati su misura, i design personalizzati e i lavori su commissione. I prodotti con “personalised” o “custom” nel nome sono generalmente esclusi.
L’offerta è gestita come due sconti automatici separati: uno per i formati più piccoli e uno per i formati più grandi.

Ad esempio, due stampe idonee in formato A4 o 8 × 10 in danno diritto al 25% di sconto su entrambe.

Continua a leggereUSSR turns an immense country into a succinct promise of movement: four monumental red letters, a bright yellow field and a white steamship advancing across deep blue water. The vertical design is deliberately spare, yet its shifts in scale are dramatic. The destination name occupies the upper part like a headline, while the comparatively small vessel curves through the lower right, making the surrounding expanse seem all the greater.
Although its maker and date are not recorded, the poster belongs visually to the bold language associated with mid-20th-century tourism advertising. Such designs had to communicate rapidly across railway stations, travel offices and other public settings, favouring simplified forms, emphatic typography and limited palettes over descriptive detail. Here, the promotional appeal of an ocean voyage meets the declarative confidence associated with Soviet graphic culture: the USSR is presented not through a landmark or picturesque panorama, but as a modern destination reached by purposeful travel.
A closer look
The eye first encounters the red lettering, whose heavy, upright forms stand sharply against the luminous yellow ground. Its placement towards the upper left leaves a broad area of open colour around it, giving the word unusual visual authority. Rather than separating text and illustration into distinct compartments, the design allows the background to descend towards the water, where yellow gives way to increasingly cool blue.
Below, the steamship is picked out in white with restrained red accents. It sits on a gentle arc, its forward motion reinforced by fine lines in the water and a pale reflection beneath the hull. The sea changes from a lighter blue around the vessel to deep navy near the bottom edge. This tonal progression supplies depth without disrupting the poster’s essential flatness: a few carefully graded bands are enough to suggest both distance and a vast navigable space.
A postcard motif in the lower left introduces a more intimate register. Its stamp, faded serif lettering and handwritten details contrast with the impersonal scale of the main title, setting private correspondence against public promotion. It also creates an effective diagonal relationship with the ship on the opposite side: one element evokes the message sent home, the other the journey itself. Near the bottom is a small rounded emblem with globe-like details, visually modest beside the oversized typography but consistent with the poster’s international travel theme.
Context and significance
Travel posters rarely attempted to describe a destination comprehensively. Their task was to create instant recognition and convert geography into desire, often by selecting a single route, monument or mode of transport. USSR is particularly striking because the means of arrival becomes the principal pictorial subject. The ship supplies speed, direction and modernity, while the country is represented almost entirely through its name.
The design therefore occupies an intriguing space between tourism and propaganda. Its primary message is promotional, but its visual rhetoric is one of scale, confidence and outward connection. Red, yellow and blue are handled not as naturalistic colour but as graphic forces: warm lettering and ground arrest the eye, while the cool lower field opens into distance. The result is memorable precisely because it says so much with so little—a destination reduced to typography, colour and the clean wake of a vessel moving towards an implied horizon.
Choosing the right size and finish
Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.
If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.
Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.
Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.
Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.
Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Most orders are made locally and delivered in around 2–3 working days, depending on the product, size and destination.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.
If you need your order by a particular date, please contact us before ordering. We’ll check the best production route and delivery option for your location.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
