Custom Natural History Collage—A Personalized Field Guide To a Beloved Place

Is there a special place in your life you'd like to remember and celebrate? Your hometown, a quiet island or lake, a favorite travel destination, a beloved park? Or are you looking for a special present for a birthday or anniversary, a housewarming gift, or a lasting travel memento?

Let us turn a place you love into a custom art collage based on beautiful vintage natural history illustrations—all in our signature style.

We'll blend a vintage map of your chosen location with digitally restored botanical and zoological illustrations to create a gorgeous art print that’s both showpiece and memory. This unique and personalized poster looks fantastic in any setting, from your kitchen to your living room to your get-away cabin in the mountains or woods.

Each species on your custom print will be native to the region you choose. We carefully select and arrange all artwork inspired by classic natural history plates.

Best of all, we include room for your personal story, if you wish: a name, date, dedication, or line of text.

(All prints are shipped unframed. Frames in the photos are examples that you can use as inspiration.)
