To The Moon and Back Rocket Space Galaxy art print

The 4th print of our 52 Prints Project - A Print for Every Week of 2025. 

The 4th print in our 52 Prints Project is inspired by our eldest son's love of space and planets. He is, understandably, fascinated by the idea of space and the idea of exploring it. We wanted to capture this for him for a while, so this week's print is for all fellow space fans, young and older.

We need no excuse to research vintage illustration and had a ball looking through 50s and 60s space-race inspired art from all over our little planet. We kept stumbling upon vintage matchboxes of the time (a classic Telegramme favourite) and also kept coming back to the idea of a vintage stamp, which we've tried to capture in the framing of this one.

The message of 'To The Moon and Back' is a well-known saying. Apparently, the words were first said in a play in the 70s and then spread throughout books, music and film since then. Known to us from the children's book, Guess How Much I Love You. It seemed a fitting addition to make this print an extra special one.
