Venice is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region. It is built on a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. The islands are in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay lying between the mouths of the Po and the Piave rivers.
The part of Venice where goods were traditionally unloaded under the arches near the Doge's Palace is known as Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) and the Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront area, which stretches along the edge of the Basilica di San Marco and the Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale). This area has historically been a hub for maritime trade and commerce, serving as the main entry point for goods arriving by sea.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.

When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
