Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
Rising from the ashes of war, reborn with quiet resolve, Coventry stands as a city of resilience in the heart of the West Midlands. Its skyline holds ruin and renewal side by side, old and new woven into a single, honest story.
Wander through the roofless nave of the old St Michael's Cathedral, its shattered walls left standing as a reminder, and step into Basil Spence's new cathedral beside it, where Graham Sutherland's great tapestry of Christ in Glory rises behind the altar. Cross the Ring Road into medieval Spon Street, its timber-framed houses huddled together as they have for centuries. Look up to the spire of Holy Trinity Church, and out across Broadgate, where the statue of Lady Godiva still rides through memory.
Beyond its landmarks, Coventry hums with the legacy of ingenuity, once a hub of clockmakers, cyclists and motorcar pioneers. The Herbert Art Gallery tells these tales. As evening falls, the cathedral ruins glow amber, and the city breathes softly beneath its own history.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
