We spend much of our days looking through glass at things that disappear when the screen turns off. Picturing Places is our small move in another direction: using software to make something physical.

Frequently asked questions
Can I personalise my artwork?
Our city maps can feature your chosen city, neighbourhood, address or coordinates. Choose your map style, label layout and paper border, and add a meaningful title, date or message.
Circuit prints offer the circuit, artwork colour and border options shown in the listing. Names, dates and dedications cannot currently be added to circuit artwork. If you’re unsure about a location or circuit configuration, message us before ordering.
Will I see a preview before printing?
Yes. We’ll send your artwork preview through Etsy Messages within 12 hours of ordering. We print only after you approve it.
Please check the location or circuit, spelling, text and selected options carefully, and keep an eye on your Etsy inbox so we can move your order into production.
What size should I choose?
Photo 2 in each listing compares all four sizes above a sofa to help you picture them in your space.
• Small: 20 × 30 cm for framed and unframed prints; A4, 21 × 29.7 cm, for hanger prints
• Medium: 30 × 40 cm
• Large: 40 × 50 cm
• XL: 50 × 70 cm
These are paper dimensions. Frames and hanger bars extend beyond the paper. Please measure your wall space before ordering.
Is a frame or hanger included?
This depends on the listing you choose:
• Unframed: the printed artwork, without a frame or hanger.
• Wooden hanger: the printed artwork with a hanger in your selected colour.
• Framed: the printed artwork in a ready-to-hang frame with acrylic/Perspex glazing and no mount or mat.
These are physical prints, not digital downloads. Room accessories shown in photographs are not included.
Where will my order ship from, and when will it arrive?
US orders are normally printed and dispatched within the United States, subject to product availability. We also use printing facilities in Europe; the dispatch location can vary.
Check the estimated delivery dates in the listing for your destination. Your artwork must be approved before printing, so please watch for your preview in Etsy Messages. Contact us before ordering if you need it for a particular date.
Can I return or exchange my order?
Personalised city maps are made specifically for you and are not eligible for change-of-mind returns or exchanges.
Circuit prints can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of delivery. Please contact us first for instructions. Returns go to France, including orders originally dispatched within the US, and buyers pay return postage. International return costs can be substantial, particularly for framed prints.
Please check the return policy on your chosen listing before purchasing.
What if my print arrives damaged or incorrect?
Please contact us through Etsy Messages with your order details and clear photos of the item and any damaged packaging. We’ll review the problem with you and arrange the appropriate next steps. Please contact us before sending anything back.
How should I care for my print?
Display your artwork indoors, away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat. Handle unframed prints with clean, dry hands, holding the edges where possible.
Dust frames and hanger bars gently with a soft, dry cloth. For acrylic glazing, use a soft microfibre cloth and a cleaner suitable for acrylic; avoid abrasive products and spraying liquid directly onto the frame.
