Rooftops of Yazd
Materials
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.
A sea of mud-brick rooftops stacked to the horizon, badgirs standing up out of them like chimneys, and the turquoise iwan of the Jameh Mosque cutting through all that ochre. Yazd has been lived in for thousands of years, and from a roof it still reads as a single material: earth, in every shade the sun can find in it.
Two faiths share the skyline. The Jameh Mosque carries the tallest minarets in Iran, tiled from base to balcony. Off to the right a Faravahar watches over a colonnaded pavilion where the Atash Behram flame is kept — by tradition, burning for more than fifteen centuries. On the ridge behind the city, a Tower of Silence.
