Continua a leggerePercy Padden’s Royal Mail Line ‘Atlantis’ cruises promotes maritime travel through an unexpectedly intimate encounter with a northern landscape. Rather than placing the liner itself at the centre of the design, Padden gives the foreground to a heavily dressed figure in a dark coat and pom-pom hat, pipe held close to the face. Beyond, pale snow-covered mountains rise above green terrain, while an antlered reindeer appears at the lower right. The contrast between this monumental figure and the distant wilderness gives the poster both immediacy and theatrical scale.
Created for the Royal Mail Line, the design belongs to an era when illustrated posters were central to the promotion of passenger travel. Such advertisements sold more than transport: they offered a carefully composed idea of the journey as sophisticated adventure. Here, the attraction of an Atlantis cruise is expressed not through the ship’s engineering or onboard comforts, but through the promise of unfamiliar scenery and close contact with a strikingly different environment. Its Art Deco character is evident in the simplified masses, strong silhouette and disciplined hierarchy of image and lettering.
A closer look
The central figure acts almost as a vertical axis, occupying much of the lower and middle composition. Dark blue and brown clothing is modelled with sharper contours than the scenery behind it, while fine lines around the face and pipe lend a degree of observational detail. The hat’s textured crown and pom-pom soften the silhouette; small highlights at the collar draw attention towards the face. Although the pose is quiet and contemplative, the figure’s scale gives it commanding graphic force.
Behind this dark foreground presence, the landscape opens in cool layers. Muted greens run across the middle distance before giving way to blue-grey slopes and bright ridges of snow. Soft tonal transitions in the sky and mountains create recession, while more emphatic marks across the peaks suggest crags and broken surfaces. The reindeer at the lower right is comparatively small, yet its branching antlers form one of the poster’s most intricate details. It also helps establish the expansiveness of the setting: human figure, animal and mountain are arranged at markedly different scales.
The promotional message is concentrated in a deep band across the bottom. “ROYAL MAIL LINE ‘ATLANTIS’ CRUISES” appears in bold, clearly separated lettering, with “THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY” placed at the lower left. This firm typographic base anchors the airy landscape above it. A narrow cream-coloured border further contains the design, sharpening the relationship between the pale mountain light and the dark block of text.
Context and significance
Travel posters had to communicate quickly in booking offices, stations and other public settings, and Padden’s composition is built around that demand. The large foreground silhouette first catches the eye; the mountains then expand the imagined journey; finally, the dark lower panel delivers the company and cruise name. Yet the design does more than organise information efficiently. Its combination of flat colour blocks, graduated distance and carefully selected narrative details turns a commercial message into a compact vision of exploration.
The poster is especially engaging for what it leaves out. No liner cuts through the water, and no crowded deck or fashionable dining room explains the pleasures of cruising. Instead, the vessel remains implicit—the means by which this remote, luminous terrain might be reached. That restraint gives Padden’s design its distinctive mood: elegant in structure, adventurous in subject and persuasive without sacrificing visual mystery.
Choosing the right size and finish
Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.
If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.
The model in the listing images is holding the 36x24in (90x60cm) version of this art print.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.
Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.
Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.
Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.
Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Most orders are made locally and delivered in around 2–3 working days, depending on the product, size and destination.
We print and frame maps and artwork in 24 countries around the world, so your order is usually made close to you or your recipient. That means faster delivery, less time in transit, and no customs or import duty surprises.
Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.
If you need your order by a particular date, please contact us before ordering. We’ll check the best production route and delivery option for your location.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
