Travel posters and advertising art

The collection includes Canadian Pacific travel designs and selected vintage advertising and illustrated posters. Open each artwork page to inspect the design rather than judging only from the small preview. These are printed reproductions for display; they are not offered as original antique posters.

Paper, canvas or another print finish?

Paper works well with traditional poster framing and a mat. Canvas offers a different surface and presentation. The available materials and dimensions appear in the selected artwork’s print studio. Compare finishes and ask the studio if small lettering or a particular detail is important.

Keep the lettering and borders in view

Many poster designs rely on their full layout, including text and borders. Choose dimensions that preserve the image proportions, and consider how a frame or canvas edge will affect the visible design. For a larger installation, share the wall dimensions with the studio before ordering.

Have your own poster design?

Our custom poster printing service handles your supplied artwork for events, displays and personal projects. Custom framing and mounting and laminating can be discussed for the finished print.
