We grew up surrounded by books.
Not just any books — old illustrated ones, with engravings of birds, maps of ancient cities, botanical plates drawn before photography existed. Our father was a librarian. So were we, eventually. Wallango began the way most good things do: not as a business plan, but as an obsession.
How it started
We're two brothers who spent years cataloguing rare illustrated books in libraries and archives. Along the way, we kept encountering the same problem: the most extraordinary images in history were buried in collections almost no one could access.
Woodblock prints by Hiroshige. Bird illustrations by Audubon. Botanical engravings that took years to complete. Maps that were works of art before cartography became a science.
We wanted them on walls, not in drawers.
Founded in 2019 by two brothers trained as librarians — driven by a shared passion for historical images and visual heritage.
What we believe about images
"Images carry memory. They are not just decoration — they are the knowledge, the fears, the wonder, and the beauty of the people who made them."
A Hokusai woodblock from 1831 is not nostalgia. It is a window into how a civilization saw the world. We think those windows deserve to be open.
How we make our prints
Every print goes through restoration first: color calibration, dust removal, ultra-high-definition digitization. Then it's printed on archival-grade matte paper — thick, museum-quality, chosen for longevity and detail.
All prints and frames are manufactured in the EU. 100% FSC-certified — every material from sustainably managed forests or recycled sources.

More than reproductions
Alongside our open collection, we develop editions and projects that go deeper into the images we care about.
-
Limited editions and collectible works
Alongside our open collection, Wallango develops limited edition prints produced in small quantities.
Each edition is:
- carefully printed on museum-quality paper
- individually numbered
- delivered with a certificate of authenticity
These editions are conceived as collectible objects — designed to last and to be part of a personal collection.

Publishing projects
Wallango is also developing a series of digital and printed art books.
These editorial projects explore specific themes, artists, and visual worlds, offering a deeper narrative around the images we curate. They reflect our ambition to go beyond reproduction and build a coherent body of work.
