Albion Vignette

from £100.00

I painted the Albion as a continuous wallpaper frieze for a beloved Hastings pub. The landscape is specifically English and specifically local: Hastings Castle on a rise, a family of deer in the valley below, a windmill on the far left, birds crossing a pale sky, wildflowers pressing in from the foreground. It is a particular place, rendered in the particular way that antique tapestries render places: stylised, layered, and full of things to find.

The Vignette is the portrait format of the same design. Where the Panoramic lets the eye travel the full sweep, the Vignette settles into a single vertical section of the scene. The castle is still there. So are the deer, the windmill, and the wildflowers. But the format gives the landscape more sky and a different quality of stillness.

Note: Your print is unframed. To ensure your print is versatile and gallery-ready, I have included the following:

  • A 5mm Image Overlap (Bleed): The design extends 5mm beyond the stated size. This ensures that if you place a mount over the top, the artwork is covered entirely with no white gaps.

  • A Professional White Border: Each print includes an additional 30mm–50mm white border on all sides. This gives you the flexibility to use a traditional card mount or to allow the paper itself to act as a contemporary framing device.

To ensure a perfect fit, I recommend waiting until your print arrives before purchasing or commissioning a custom frame, as very slight variations in paper size can occur during the Giclée printing process.
