A Key West Florida travel poster set on a back lane in Old Town. A butter-yellow conch house fills the right side, its porch trimmed with white gingerbread fretwork and a dark red front door behind it. Magenta bougainvillea spills over the picket fence, a mint green beach cruiser leans against the pickets, and a rooster struts across the sandy pavement. About the artwork Hard-edged flat shapes with restrained shading, and a colour scheme built on one clash: soft butter yellow siding against a shocking magenta bougainvillea. Around them sit a pale turquoise sky, a grey ribbed metal roof, chalk white for the fretwork, columns and picket fence, mint green on the bicycle, and warm sand for the pavement. Coconut palms lean in from the left, overhead wires cross the sky, and long palm frond shadows fall across the foreground. The rooster is drawn in full detail, orange hackles and dark green tail. The type reads KEY WEST with FLORIDA below it, in white. Portrait, 2:3. Why you'll love it The famous roosters — one is walking down the middle of the pavement, which is the detail people always laugh at first. Gingerbread architecture drawn properly — the fretwork brackets, turned porch columns and pickets are all individually cut shapes. Bougainvillea as the loud colour — a single magenta mass carrying the whole composition against soft yellows and blues. Island quiet, not beach cliche — no sunset, no sailboat, just a residential street on a hot afternoon. Sizes and materials Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Nine sizes from 8" x 12" to 30" x 40", plus A4-A1 for European frames. Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang. Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors. Styling it at home This is the brightest print in the set and it does not need a bright wall. White, chalk or a pale sand keeps the magenta doing the work. The sage green room in the photographs above shows how well the mint bicycle and the palms settle against a muted green. Natural oak or white frames suit it; black frames fight the pastel yellow, so keep those for the cooler city prints. Shipping and care Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth. Questions people ask What size should I get? The fretwork and the rooster stay legible from 12" x 18" up. For a living room wall where the bougainvillea should carry across the room, 24" x 36" is the one. Does it come framed? Paper prints ship rolled and unframed. Matte canvas is stretched and ready to hang, and framed canvas comes in a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. What does the poster say? The printed type reads KEY WEST with FLORIDA beneath it. Nothing else on the artwork carries text.
