And design retro travel posters.

From our gallery in Kinsale, County Cork, we design and print a range of colourful vintage style travel posters that pays homage to the by-gone age of the railway travel poster. Our posters cover our hometown of Kinsale and include iconic locations from West Cork, Kenmare, Dingle, Killarney, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Dublin and many more. New travel poster designs are added every year as we continue to build a comprehensive collection of the most iconic locations in Ireland.

About The Canvas Works

After graduating from Law School in TCD, Patrick Ryan spent 10 years working in advertising agencies in London and Dublin before moving to Kinsale with his wife Lynne to set up The Canvas Works in 2007. Although we're small, our reputation for high quality canvas and framed prints is unrivalled. We also design and print a range of colourful retro travel posters of Ireland, available in our gallery and on our website.

  • I am so so delighted with the print. The colours are spot on and the quality is wonderful. It was very safely and securely packaged so it arrived in perfect condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What are your print sizes for canvas prints and framed prints?

    All of our sizes for the travel posters relate to the image area rather than the total size. This means that for framed prints or print only on either satin lustre or fine art paper, the total paper size will be bigger to allow for the border or mat.

    Canvas prints are different because there is no border or mat surrounding the image so the sizes there equate to the full size of the canvas.

    Image Size, Paper Size and Wall Size
    A 15x20cm image size comes printed on a 20x25cm print and has a total wall size of 24x29cm. (In imperial sizes, this equates to a typical 8x10" frame)

    A 20x30cm imagee sizes comes printed as a 30x40cm print and has a total wall size of 34x44cm. (In imerial sizes, this equates to a 12x16" frame)

    A 30x45cm image comes printed as a 40x55cm print and has a total wall size of 44x59cm. (In imperial sizes, this equates to a 16x24" frame)

    A 40x60cm image size comes printed as a 50x70cm print and has a total wall size of 54x70cm. (In imerrial sizes, this equates to a 20x28" frame)

  • What materials do you use for canvas and framed printing?

    We print with the Epson Surecolor P9000 series of printers. These wide format fine art printers use Epson’s Ultra Chrome HDX 10 colour ink set for superior light fastness and a wide colour gamut.

    Our Satin Lustre Photo Paper is a beautiful 250gsm photo paper that is perfect for every kind of photo printing in either colour or black and white. This paper has some optical brightening agents to give it a nice crisp white finish. As a satin paper, it does not have a noticeable shine but nor is it entirely flat - a good middle ground.

    Our Fine Art Paper is a heavier 360gsm paper with a little more texture and a matt finish. This paper is perfect for art reproductions and special occasion photo printing such as wedding images or studio portraiture.

    Our Picture Frames are made from real wood and come in a limed white or black. The moulding is approximately 2cm wide at the face. Our frames are beautifully finished on the back with tape and hanging brackets. Our glazing is shatter-proof acrylic - we do not use glass for safety purposes and for trouble free shipping.

    Our Canvas Frames are made from kiln-dried pine and come from sustainable sources in the Baltic States. We use two profile depths. The 20x30cm and 30x45cm sizes come stretched on a 2cm deep profile, while the 40x60cm size is finished on our premium 40mm deep frame.
