Do you love travelling? Do you love looking at beautiful pictures of cities like London, New York and Paris? If so, then you'll love our wall art posters of cities! We sell wall art city prints of some of the most famous cities in the world, including London, Paris, and Venice. The wall art prints and art posters of cities at The John Dyer Gallery feature paintings from some of the UK's best-known artists and are produced to museum quality. A well-selected art print will look amazing on the wall and will really improve any interior. We provide free shipping to your address worldwide, so you can easily add to your city print collection over time.
We know that everyone loves a good vintage-style travel poster, so we have created a unique range of vintage-style travel city prints (inspired by vintage railway posters of the past) that will take you on a journey around some of the most beautiful cities in Europe, the UK and France including London, Liverpool, Nice, Paris and Venice.
When you shop online at The John Dyer Gallery for a London poster print, a Venice poster print, a map print, world map poster art, Paris posters, a print of Liverpool, Blackpool posters, a print of Provence and other categories and subjects, your poster print order (not limited edition prints as they have to be signed by the artists) will be routed for printing and framing to one of four countries and regions, which are the UK, USA, EU and Australia, so there is free shipping, fast delivery and no import duties if you are in one of these four regions! This helps to reduce the carbon footprint of transport around the world and producing and shipping locally is better for our customers.
A limited-edition print generally comes in one size only. The print will feature only the art and generally doesn't have any text added. Each limited-edition print is signed, titled and numbered by the artist in their studio, which gives the print a very personal touch. Our signed limited edition prints are supplied unframed and are shipped from the UK. Each print is of museum quality and on the highest quality watercolour paper and produced with archival inks.
Our posters of cities come in a wide variety of sizes, A3, A2, A1 and a huge wall-size art of 70x100cm and they can all be supplied in frames and ready to hang on your wall. Each poster print is produced on museum-quality paper with archival inks. They are not signed by the artists. The frames are white and made from solid wood. They are the perfect frames for this type of art.
Jules Chéret (1836 – 1932), the first colour lithograph poster artist, developed the method for producing colour art prints in 1866 after fine-tuning Alois Senefelder's black-and-white method of 1798. Lithography is a process that uses a waxy crayon to make a design on a smooth surface
The water is repelled by the waxy drawn areas, which soak up the ink before being transferred to the poster paper. The majority of commercial advertising posters are still produced using a mechanized offset technique, in which an image is transferred from a metal plate to a rubber roller before being printed lithographically to form the final poster
Vintage railway posters are a type of naive stylised illustrative art that was popular in the UK in the 1930s. They featured colourful and stylised artistic illustrations of cities, often with an emphasis on the local railway station. The posters were designed to be a promotion for travel and holidays, and many feature iconic landmarks such as Big Ben in London or the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Today a poster from the 1930s is prized for its vintage style and charm, but our contemporary new travel art posters are future collectable classics as they feature the very best of British art combined with crisp modern type and amazing subjects. This is a new poster art form.
These posters feature original art by artists John Dyer and Joanne Short who find inspiration from their trips around the UK and Europe. Here is an account by artist Joanne Short, of their visits to a few of these cities.
"If you're looking for a city break that's got plenty of character, then Liverpool is the place for you. This vibrant and colourful city has something to offer everyone, from its historic music scene to its world-famous football stadiums, historical landmarks and Art Galleries.
A Liverpool print can capture all the excitement and energy of this vibrant city and would be the perfect addition to any wall.
The Docklands is a great place to start when you're exploring Liverpool. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars along the waterfront as well as some wonderful architecture that's worth seeing. John and I couldn't help but stop and sketch as we walked around.
If you've never visited before then I recommend taking one of the guided tours around this beautiful city so that you can learn more about its history while enjoying spectacular views over the River Mersey.
The Docklands area is where you can find some of Liverpool's best attractions, including Albert Dock and Beatles Story Museum, as well as galleries such as Tate Liverpool which are always worth a visit and the Tate is a great place to take the kids too."
"As part of our UK tour we took a trip to Blackpool and had such a great time riding on the tram along the seafront and dancing in the Tower Ballroom!
Blackpool is a coastal town on the Fylde coast of Lancashire in North West England. It has been a major seaside resort since 1781 and was one of the first towns to be lit by electric lighting from its own power station. The Promenade stretches for several miles and is home to three piers, the Central Pier, North Pier and South Pier.
Our naïve art of Blackpool is inspired by the annual illuminations which take place every year from September till November and all the fun of the seaside with dancing, donkeys and more."
"London has to be one of my favourite cities in the world, full of vibrant colours, art and lifestyles rubbing alongside spectacular historical sites. I painted some of my favourites after several sightseeing trips around this beautiful city and making a series of drawings. This resulted in a new series of art with a range of new images."
"Where better or more beautiful a city than Paris to find inspiration for new art? John and I originally travelled to Paris about 26 years ago, but it wasn't until a more recent visit in 2012 that we got our pens and brushes out and started to create a series of art including paintings and drawings.
We both love French architecture, the fascinating shapes of the rooftops and balconies and french like and captured much of the essence of Paris in our art.
Tuileries gardens, Paris
The Jardin des Tuileries (Tuileries Garden) is a public garden located between the Louvre Museum and the Place de la Concorde in Paris. It was created by Catherine de Medici, wife of King Henry II of France, in 1564. The gardens were opened to the public in 1667.
As always, we enjoyed sitting in the gardens watching the world go by while sketching or photographing, and watching children sailing yachts on the pond. The perfect place for inspiration and art.
The Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. It has become a global icon of France and one of the most recognisable art structures in the world.
John and I climbed up to the top (not an easy task!) and were rewarded with amazing views over Paris. We sat down and started to draw what we could see in front of us. The structure and design of the tower is truly stunning, and we wanted to capture this unique vision in our naive art style. After a few days in Paris, it soon became my favourite city in the world and has really inspired my art."
Our Paris poster collection of art includes images of:
"France is a beautiful country and one that we have painted many times, in many locations, mainly in the South of France, on the Côtes d'Azur and Provence. A lot of our art and paintings from this area are based on the flower and fruit crops; grapes, cherries, sunflowers, lavender and olives. These french art posters are perfect for interior design makeovers as they bring so much art and culture to an interior."
Our art posters and prints of this area include:

Love it. So cheering on these dark days of winter. Thank you John.
I was looking for a print of st ives and came across John dyers work . I particularly like the colours and style of this piece , especially the fat seagulls . It’s complete fun in a frame and reminds us of happy days spent at the harbour
The print is fabulous, beautiful and my sister will love it. Thank you
Really like this picture as it brings brightness to our kitchen diner. We framed it with a white border and blue second border. Looks amazing
We love John’s pictures of France. We already have an original of Nice but bought this poster as it brings back so many wonderful memories.
Superb communication and attentiveness from gallery. The poster is of course wonderful.
Love this print - bright, sunny and makes one feel warm and happy!
Delivery was all easy and straightforward. Many thanks.
The print is even better in real life. It’s printed on beautiful quality paper which makes the colours really pop and the painting itself is simply charming. It brings so much joy to us. We love it! Thank you
A lovely art print bought as a memory of our holidays on the beautiful Isles of Scilly.
The frame is very well made and displays the art print beautifully. Ordering from John Dyer Gallery was simple and delivery swift. I would not hesitate to order from them again.
Thank you so much for the amazing customer service, and most beautiful painting of our favourite place
Absolutely beautiful painting. So thrilled with it. Completely amazing service: beautifully packaged, framed and safely delivered really quickly.
Lovely picture, bought 3 after our recent trip to Cornwall. Already thinking of getting more.
Have walked this coastal path from St Agnes to Chapel Porth and back countless time. I am now pleased that this fabulous print is the first thing I see every morning. Beautiful, happy colours. Nice frame. I’m now planning of ordering one of Mount’s Bay by same artist.
Such a vibrant, pretty piece. I visited Fowey Harbour recently and was looking for a small keepsake to have with me back in the U.S. Shipping abroad was seamless and I received this item quite quickly. I've had many compliments since putting this on my phone and am happy to be reminded of a wonderful trip to a magical place this summer.
As always professional , efficient and prompt .
