A broad archive of illustration work

With over 1,700 pieces, this is one of the largest collections on the site, spanning whimsical, archival, and hand-drawn illustration across subjects from city scenes to zoo animals, including pieces like Zurich City Sepia and the Zoologischer Garten series. Because the range is wide, the fastest way to shop it is to narrow by subject first (animals, cities, nature) if you already know your room's theme, or simply scroll if you're looking for one piece that catches your eye rather than fitting a brief.

Picking the right size and paper or canvas

Illustration work generally holds fine linework and detail, so paper posters printed on archival stock are a strong default choice here, the crispness suits pen and ink style pieces particularly well. Canvas is a good option for looser, more painterly illustrations where you want texture to soften the lines slightly. Sizes range from small prints suited to a desk or shelf up to large 70x100cm pieces for a wall centrepiece. As a rule, illustrations with a lot of fine detail (like the zoo series) read best at mid to large sizes so the detail stays visible from across the room.

Using illustration prints for a gallery wall

Illustration is one of the easiest styles to combine into a gallery wall because most pieces share a similar line-driven quality even across very different subjects. Pick a loose theme, animals, travel, or city scenes work well, and mix three to five prints in matching frames. Keep the frame finish consistent across the group (all oak or all black) so the variety in the artwork itself doesn't get lost in mismatched framing. A children's room, study, or reading nook are natural spots for illustration-heavy walls, since the style tends to feel warm and approachable rather than formal.

Every print is produced to order in our Berlin studio using archival inks, so fine detail and line weight stay sharp rather than blurring the way lower-quality reproductions sometimes do. If you're building out a themed wall, browsing by sample pieces like the Zoologischer Garten set is a good way to gauge scale and colour before committing to a final layout.

Given the size of this collection, it helps to use the subject and colour filters rather than scrolling the full list, since illustration art print styles here range from monochrome pen work to fully coloured pieces. If you already own one or two illustration prints and want to add a matching piece, look for pieces with a similar line weight and colour saturation rather than matching subject exactly, that consistency is what makes an illustration wall feel considered rather than assembled piece by piece.
