Travel round the globe but first see Ireland makes its argument with the economy of a particularly assured travel poster: a brilliantly coloured globe, a magnifying glass fixed upon Ireland and a slogan arranged in emphatic bands above and below. Saturated blue establishes the field, while green, yellow, orange and red divide the continents into crisp, easily read shapes. At the centre, Ireland is enlarged and labelled in bold sans-serif lettering, transformed from one destination among many into the obvious place to begin.

The design belongs to the promotional culture of railway and steamship tourism, when posters did more than advertise routes: they helped form popular ideas of leisure, distance and national character. Here, the promise of global adventure is cleverly redirected towards Ireland. Rather than competing with faraway destinations, the country is presented as the first stage of a larger journey—accessible, memorable and fully part of the modern traveller’s world. Its streamlined forms, flat colour and forceful typography reflect the influence of modernist and Art Deco graphic design, favouring immediate visual impact over descriptive realism.

A closer look

The poster’s graphic logic begins with the headline, “TRAVEL ROUND THE GLOBE”, set in large red capitals across the upper section. Beneath it, the globe operates both as an emblem of international travel and as a field of bright abstract colour. Continents are simplified into broad, irregular masses, their clean boundaries standing out sharply against the surrounding blue. Fine dividing lines provide just enough geographical structure without interrupting the design’s bold rhythm.

A hand enters from the right, holding the magnifying glass over Ireland. This small figurative detail gives the composition its action: the country is not merely placed at the centre, but actively selected from the world. The glass and its polished-looking bezel introduce a circular frame within the larger sphere of the globe, creating a witty image within an image. Inside it, the green outline of Ireland receives greater scale and clarity, while the uncompromising word “IRELAND” ensures that the destination can be grasped at a glance.

Across the lower section, “BUT FIRST SEE IRELAND” appears in white against dark blue, completing the slogan with a strong tonal reversal. The two-part text creates a neat visual and rhetorical rhythm: aspiration above, recommendation below. At the bottom edge, smaller lettering directs readers towards principal railway, steamship and tourist agents, as well as the Irish Tourist Association in Dublin. That practical footer anchors the poster’s playful conceit in the working infrastructure of organised tourism.

Context and significance

Travel advertising of this kind depended upon instant recognition. Displayed in public settings, a poster had only moments to turn a passer-by’s attention into curiosity, and its hierarchy therefore needed to be unmistakable. This design reduces its message to three memorable components—the globe, the magnifying glass and the slogan—while the concentrated palette keeps them legible from a distance. The result is less a geographical description of Ireland than a persuasive piece of visual positioning.

Its central joke remains effective because it reverses the usual direction of travel promotion. The globe suggests expansive horizons, yet the magnifying glass insists upon a closer look. Ireland becomes both local destination and point of departure: a small country made visually dominant through scale, colour and typography. That combination of wit and clarity gives the poster its enduring graphic character.

Choosing the right size and finish

Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.

If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.

The model in the listing images is holding the 36x24in (90x60cm) version of this art print.

Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.

Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.

Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.

Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.

Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.

This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Most orders are made locally and delivered in around 2–3 working days, depending on the product, size and destination.

We print and frame maps and artwork in 24 countries around the world, so your order is usually made close to you or your recipient. That means faster delivery, less time in transit, and no customs or import duty surprises.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.

Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.

Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.

If you need your order by a particular date, please contact us before ordering. We’ll check the best production route and delivery option for your location.

Express delivery is available at checkout for most countries. Next-day delivery is available in the UK, US, Singapore and the UAE.

Your order is covered by our 90-day returns policy and 10-year guarantee.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.

We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.

Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.

Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.

All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.

If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Parla di quest'opera con il nostro team Trade & Projects

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.

Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.

Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.

Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.

Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.

Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
