Fine Art Prints

Premium archival matte fine art paper, 200–230 gsm. Smooth, bright white surface with an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. Printed with archival inks for accurate color and high-contrast reproduction. FSC-certified sustainable paper.

Framed Prints

Solid wood frame, roughly 0.875″ wide, available in light, black, or white. Protected by shatterproof optical-grade acrylic — lighter and safer than glass, and it ships without risk of breakage. Dry-mounted to foam core with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire installed, ready to hang out of the box.

Production

Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.

An airline poster in the airbrushed style of the period: an Iran Air 747 climbing out of a sunburst, the Alborz massif in snow and lavender filling the middle of the page, and the Azadi Tower small at the bottom with Tehran hazed out behind it. IRAN AIR runs across the top, and under it the line FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF TEHRAN TO THE WORLD.

  • A Boeing 747 in Iran Air livery with the navy Homa mark on its tail
  • A rayed sun behind the aircraft, drawn in fine gold lines
  • The Alborz in violet, rose and white, snow along every ridge
  • The Azadi Tower and a pale skyline in the lower quarter
  • Soft airbrushed gradients throughout, from teal sky to apricot haze

The line at the top is not just copy. Iran Air took delivery of the short-bodied 747SP in 1975 and used it to fly Tehran to New York without stopping — at the time the longest scheduled nonstop route in the world, and one of the fastest. The airline had been formed in 1962 out of two smaller carriers, and by the mid-seventies it was flying that route over the mountains in this picture.

Perfect for

  • Travel poster walls and gallery groupings
  • Aviation collectors
  • Anyone with a connection to Tehran
  • Home offices and hallways
