Brilliant customer service from the start with an easy website to navigate. Unfortunately when my order arrived the print was damaged, contacted Carol who sent another out for me straight away and kept me updated along the way. Absolutely fantastic service. Thank you. - Kim S, Pontefract
Butterfly mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 30in x 20in.
With its clean lines and striking striped pattern, zebra longwing butterfly creates a refined focal point suited to nature-led interiors. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or garden-inspired spaces, it pairs well with soft greens and neutral tones, adding subtle contrast and detail.
The zebra longwing butterfly (Heliconius charithonia) is a tropical species found across Central and South America, as well as parts of the southern United States. Recognised by its elongated wings marked with bold black and pale stripes, it is part of a group known for Müllerian mimicry, where similar patterns signal toxicity to predators. Unlike many butterflies, it feeds on both nectar and pollen, contributing to its relatively long lifespan.
Perched lightly on a leaf, the butterfly is shown side-on, its wings closed to reveal the distinctive striped pattern. The fine structure of the wings and slender body are clearly defined, while the soft green background creates a smooth contrast. The composition keeps the focus on pattern and form, with a clean, uncluttered feel.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.

Loved this image of our wedding day and was appropriate for our anniversary too...
Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
Thank you so very much the mugs are really lovely and you have kept me informed how my order was doing right up to the delivery, your service is 1st class and I will be doing business with you again.
