Vertical City letterpress print by Allison Rae

Beautiful Vertical City letterpress print by designer/artist/illustrator Allison Rae.

The first run of prints are sold out but a second run is in the works, they’ll be available in Allison’s Etsy Shop in the near future.

From Allison Rae:

The concept’s pretty self-explanatory: an imaginary city re-imagined from the standard horizontal plane to a vertical one. Broadly speaking, the idea came about from a long-term immersion in the sprawling horizontal cityscape of Dallas, along with a childhood fascination with skyscrapers. Reimagining public transportation on a vertical plane (local & express elevators in lieu of subways) was a really fun thing to plan out, in addition to trying to determine which places of business to include and where in the whole schema.
