Mount Rainier Letterpress Topographic Map Wall Art
(unframed)

This detailed and beautifully printed letterpress poster of Mount Rainier portrays the mountain using dark grey contour lines. Letterpress printed on premium tree-free paper, the poster is 11x14 (16x20 also available) and shipped flat, ready for framing or simple hanging.

Other shops on Etsy offer topographical posters, but no other printing process comes close to representing these maps as well as letterpress does. In the printing process, the press actually pushes the lines down into the paper, creating a visible impression that makes the map pop off the page—an effect not achievable with the modern standard, mass-produced printing techniques.

Mount Rainier lies southeast of Seattle, Washington and is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States with an elevation of 14,411 feet.

Because of its extreme height and glacial ice, it is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world (due to the destruction an eruption could cause). Mountain climbing on Mount Rainier is difficult, involving traversing the largest glaciers in the U.S. south of Alaska. 8,000 to 13,000 people attempt the climb each year.
