Excellent print quality, quick arrival. - Colin G, Worksop
Butterfly mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 30in x 20in.
Perched lightly among green foliage, postman butterfly creates a refined and natural focal point suited to calm interiors. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or garden-inspired spaces, it pairs well with soft greens and neutral tones, adding a subtle and elegant presence.
The postman butterfly (Heliconius melpomene) is a tropical species commonly found in Central and South America, recognised for its dark wings marked with bold red or orange bands. It is part of a group known for Müllerian mimicry, where multiple species share similar warning patterns to signal toxicity to predators. Postman butterflies are also notable for their relatively long lifespan and their ability to feed on both nectar and pollen.
Perched delicately on a narrow leaf, the butterfly is shown side-on, revealing the contrast between its deep brown wings and the vivid orange markings. The slender body and fine antennae are clearly defined, while the surrounding green foliage is softly blurred. The composition draws attention to the balance between the sharp detail of the insect and the smooth, natural background.
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.

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.
Brilliant experience and service, we have the Highland Cow framed print, my other half being a lover of cattle and cows and it looks incredible on our picture wall! Thanks Again!!
