For the Animal Lover

Most of us are animal lovers in one form or another, but then some of us are dedicated to incorporating our favourite animals into every possible space in our home. We’ve got you covered with our collection of Animal Art, so whether you're looking for a gift for that Aunt who loves elephants, or if your Dad has a soft spot for giraffes, we have art prints to display your favourite feathered, furry, or scaly creature framed in a bespoke range of sizes!

Asiatic Elephant (Animal Illustration from 'Dictionnaire Universel D'histoire Naturelle')

This 19th-Century illustration of an Asiatic Elephant (Elephas Maximus) was featured in the 1892 edition of ‘Dictionnaire Universel D’histoire Naturelle’ by French botanist and geologist, Charles Dessalines D’Orbigny. Although this print is of a classic illustration over 100 years old, it will look right at home in any modern space and is available with our bespoke framing options to add some customization.

For the Globetrotter

Many people love to travel, to sightsee and to explore new countries, immersing themselves in other cultures. When they're at home however, their surroundings should reflect their passion, whether that be by displaying trinkets and treasures brought from markets around the world, or by hanging art prints on the wall for all to appreciate. We've curated a collection of Maps & Geography art prints showing different areas of the Earth to show a love for adventure. These would make perfect gifts for those filled with wanderlust!

Jardin Public, Champs Elysées

For the Plant Parent

We all know someone who's a natural gardener, or who manages to keep their houseplants thriving when it seems like nobody else can. For those with a green-thumb, our collection of Plants, Flowers & Funghi prints may be the answer! These prints range from common plants you often encounter, to rare, beautiful flowers from exotic climates. Whether you want to gift some floral artwork or are looking for unique botanical photography, our collection has something for all nature lovers.

Lotus Flowers

Flower art prints can add a colourful focal point to any room, and the delicate colours of Lotus Flowers by Ogawa Kazumasa are sure to fit in perfectly with any colour scheme.

For the Space Enthusiast 

Some people love delving into the vastness of space, spotting constellations, learning about the different planets and galaxies, and displaying their love for the intergalactic in their home. We have a collection of Space & Astrology artworks, which range from classic astronomical drawings by E.L. Trouvelot to antique maps charting the skies. No matter their personal style, we're sure to stock something to suit every space fanatic.

NASA Visions Of The Future - Mars

The bold, colourful design of this mock space-tourism poster from NASA / JPL’s Visions Of The Future Collection is perfect for the space lover, who chooses modern art to furnish their space. NASA’s Mars Exploration Program seeks to understand whether Mars was, is, or can be a habitable world, and this poster imagines a future where human exploration will reach Mars, with a nostalgic look back at the great imagined milestones of what it took to get there.

We have other futuristic space tourism posters from NASA/JPL available on our website as high resolution prints.
