Continua a leggereNorman Fraser’s Vancouver Island. Golf every day of the year places a golfer at the centre of an expansive coastal landscape, caught at the decisive end of his swing. His pale tan clothing stands out crisply against a vivid blue sky, while green fairway, layered hills and distant water turn the sporting scene into an appealing portrait of Vancouver Island itself. The design is direct but carefully staged: an athletic foreground figure supplies movement, and the receding shoreline opens the composition towards a spacious, sunlit distance.
The poster belongs to a mid-century tradition of travel advertising in which destinations were presented through memorable experiences rather than exhaustive description. Here, Fraser reduces Vancouver Island’s appeal to a particularly effective proposition: “GOLF EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR”. The claim draws upon the temperate reputation of this British Columbian coastal setting, making climate and recreation inseparable parts of its regional identity. Instead of a map or itinerary, the poster offers an ideal of leisure—fresh air, open ground and sport played within sight of sea and hills.
A closer look
The typography establishes the destination before the landscape can be fully taken in. “Vancouver Island” stretches across the upper section in large white letters, immediately legible against the saturated blue sky. Directly below, the golfing slogan appears in contrasting green, its compact line acting almost like a bridge between the name of the island and the figure beneath. Thin linear accents help organise the information without interrupting the broad openness of the sky.
The golfer’s pose gives the composition its energy. Planted firmly in the grass, he turns through the swing with the club raised and his body angled across the otherwise strongly vertical format. Gentle modelling around his shirt and trousers lends him more volume than the flatter landscape behind, while small details—the laced shoes, concentrated expression and bend of the arms—bring specificity to the sporting action. He is not merely holding a club for display; Fraser has selected a moment that suggests momentum and practiced attention.
Beyond him, the scenery is constructed in broad, economical layers. Rich green grass occupies the lower edge before giving way to darker undulating hills. At the right, land and water meet along a curving coastline, leading the eye into the distance. Variations of green suggest changing terrain without laborious detail, and the clean meeting of blue, green, cream and tan preserves the clarity required of a poster designed to communicate at a glance. Tiny birds in the upper sky provide a particularly understated touch, reinforcing the sense of open coastal air.
Context and significance
Travel posters of this period often sold a place by selecting one defining pleasure: skiing, bathing, sightseeing or, as here, golf. Fraser’s design does more than advertise a course. Its visual argument is that Vancouver Island’s landscape and climate make outdoor recreation part of everyday life. The destination name dominates, but the golfer demonstrates the promise beneath it, turning a broad climatic claim into an immediately intelligible scene.
The result is an effective piece of regional image-making. Vancouver Island becomes not an abstract point on the map, but a union of green terrain, blue water and active leisure. Fraser’s restrained detail and bold graphic hierarchy allow the message to remain unmistakable, while the coastline and distant hills give the poster enough geographical character to distinguish it from a generic golfing advertisement.
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 24x36in (60x90cm) 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.
