Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Portsmouth's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Portsmouth International at Pease Airport Runway Diagram Print
PSM is a one runway field, and the print is built around that single line: runway 16/34, 11,322 feet long and 150 feet wide, cutting from the upper left of the sheet down to the lower right. The 16 threshold sits at the top of the diagonal, the 34 threshold at the bottom, and nothing crosses it anywhere along its length. Field elevation is 100 feet. The pavement is concrete and asphalt, which is a lot of surface for one stroke of ink.
What fills out the composition is everything running beside that stroke. A broad pale band of taxiway and apron pavement sits parallel to the runway on the right hand side of the print, wider than the runway itself, with building footprints stepping down its outer edge in two weights of grey. Two small round pads float alone near the top. The result reads as one confident diagonal with a busy shoulder, which is why it hangs well in a tall narrow space where a field full of crossing strips would turn to clutter.
The airport sits about one nautical mile west of the central business district of Portsmouth, inside the Pease International Tradeport, the redevelopment of the former Pease Air Force Base that closed under Base Realignment and Closure Commission action in the late 1980s and early 1990s. That military history is the reason the line on your wall is as long as it is. Pease also served NASA as a Launch Abort Site and an Emergency Landing Site for Space Shuttle orbiters. In 1994, Business Express flew Delta Connection commuter services into the airport from Boston, New York LaGuardia and New York Newark, using turboprops that needed a fraction of the concrete drawn here. Each print is made to order, and the colorway you choose sets how loud that diagonal reads.
Portsmouth (PSM) print, common questions
How many runways does PSM have, and how long is the runway?
One runway: 16/34, measuring 11,322 feet by 150 feet, on a concrete and asphalt surface. The print shows it as a single unbroken diagonal, with the 16 and 34 designators marked at each end.
Where is Portsmouth International at Pease, and how high is the field?
It is in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, about one nautical mile west of the city's central business district, at roughly 43.0779 N, 70.8233 W. Field elevation is 100 feet, and both the coordinates and the elevation are printed under the identifier.
What is PSM?
PSM is the identifier for Portsmouth International at Pease. It is the code set in large type at the lower right of the print, with the city and state beneath it, so the piece is readable to someone who knows the field and still clear to someone who does not.
How accurate is the layout on this print?
It is plotted from published airport information, so the single runway, its 16/34 designators and the shape of the taxiway and apron pavement sit where the published runway data puts them. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting, signage and small pavement edges are the sorts of things that get left out for the sake of the composition.
What sizes work best for this one?
The layout carries at more than one size. The runway diagonal stays legible on a small sheet, while the apron band and the row of building footprints only really open up on a larger one, so go big if the wall allows it. Every print is made to order in the colorway you choose.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes, particularly for someone with a Portsmouth connection or anyone who has flown in or out of PSM. The runway designators, the coordinates and the 100 foot elevation make it specific to this field rather than generic aviation decor.
