A Beale Street Memphis poster taken low from the cobbles early in the day, with the red brick club fronts running away down the right side of the street, iron balconies stacked above the awnings, neon signs projecting out over the sidewalk, and a brass saxophone standing on the pavement beside a shopfront door.
About the artwork
Flat vector shapes with hard edges and heavy drawn detail in the cobblestones, the brickwork and the balcony ironwork. The colour is deliberately loud on one side and empty on the other: vermilion and brick red across the buildings, turquoise and teal on the shopfronts, doors and window glass, striped awnings in cream, blue and orange, brass and gold on the saxophone, warm sand and clay in the paving stones, all under a flat cerulean sky that takes up the entire left half. Details to look for: scrolled cast-iron balcony rails, a hanging round sign over the sidewalk, a row of small neon blades further down the block, and long shadows thrown across the cobbles. The printed type reads MEMPHIS above TENNESSEE in white capitals. Portrait, 2:3.
Why you'll love it
- The saxophone gives it away — one object tells you exactly which street this is.
- Red against turquoise — a bolder colour pairing than most travel prints attempt.
- Empty at opening time — the street before the crowds, which keeps the architecture readable.
- Half sky — the wide blue field gives the eye somewhere to rest on a busy wall.
Sizes and materials
- Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Nine sizes from 8" x 12" to 30" x 40", plus A4-A1 for European frames.
- Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang.
- Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
- Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.
Styling it at home
The vermilion is strong, so let the wall stay quiet: warm white, oatmeal or a deep charcoal all work, and the terracotta wall in the photographs above picks the red up directly. Keep the room's other colours few — walnut, black metal and one turquoise object is enough. It belongs in a music room, a bar corner or a living room where you already have records and a speaker, rather than a pale minimalist bedroom.
Shipping and care
Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.
Questions people ask
What size should I get? The cobbles and the ironwork are the reward here, so 18" x 27" upward. Over a sofa or a sideboard, 24" x 36" or 30" x 40".
Does it come framed? Paper prints ship unframed and rolled. Matte canvas comes stretched and ready to hang, and framed canvas adds a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
What does the poster say? The large printed type reads MEMPHIS with TENNESSEE beneath it. The small hanging shop signs in the illustration are drawn as shapes and are not meant to be read.
Print & materials
Every design is made to order on one of three materials:
- Fine art paper — thick archival gallery-grade paper with a smooth matte finish, printed with fade-resistant pigment inks. The choice if you already own a frame.
- Matte canvas — gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher, ready to hang straight out of the box. No glass, no glare.
- Framed canvas in white, black, espresso or natural wood — a slim solid-wood floating frame with the hanging hardware already fitted. Natural and espresso suit warm, timber-heavy rooms; white and black sit better in minimalist and monochrome spaces.
Sizes run from 8 x 12 inches up to large statement pieces, plus A4, A3, A2 and A1 for standard European frames. The exact sizes available for this design are listed in the Size menu above.
Production & shipping
Nothing is printed until you order, so each piece is made for you.
- Printed and finished in 3–5 business days.
- Delivery a further 4–8 business days — about 7–13 days in total.
- Free shipping across the United States. Everywhere else is a flat $5 per order.
Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Canvas and framed canvas are boxed with corner guards.
Damage, defects & care
Every piece is printed for you after you order, so we cannot take a print back for a change of mind — please check the size and material first. Our Size Guide shows every size drawn to scale.
If it arrives damaged, misprinted or simply wrong, email us within 14 days with photos of the piece and the packaging. We reprint and reship it free, and there is nothing to send back.
Keep artwork out of direct sunlight. Wipe framed canvas with a dry, soft cloth. Handle paper prints by the edges until they are framed.

Materials
Three ways to print it.
Same artwork, same colour-managed printing — the material decides how it hangs and how much wall it holds.
Fine art paper
Thick archival gallery-grade paper with a smooth matte finish, printed with fade-resistant pigment inks.
- The most affordable option, and the one to pick if you already own a frame.
- Reads slightly softer than canvas.
- Ships rolled in a rigid tube.
Matte canvas
Gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher, ready to hang straight out of the box.
- No glass, so no glare — good for bright rooms.
- Holds a touch more contrast than paper.
- Boxed with corner guards.
Framed canvas
A slim solid-wood floating frame with the hanging hardware already fitted, in white, black, espresso or natural wood.
- Natural and espresso suit warm, timber-heavy rooms.
- White and black sit better in minimalist and monochrome spaces.
- The usual choice for a feature wall — nothing to assemble.
