Republic of Rathnelly Map Print
Republic of Rathnelly Map Print
The Republic of Rathnelly is bordered by Poplar Plains Road, Poplar Plains Crescent, Avenue Road and the CPR tracks. In 1967, to protest the impending construction of the Spadina Expressway, the residents of this area declared independence from the City of Toronto and from Canada. Their protests were a success as the expressway was never built.
It is also included on the Casa Loma Neighbourhood Map Print

Shipping
We ship from Hamilton, Ontario via Canada Post. We try to ship a couple days per week (more often in November and December).
We also offer free local pickup in downtown Hamilton. -
Returns
We offer returns and exchanges in person only. We cannot offer returns by mail at this time. As a very small business, the cost of shipping is too high for us to absorb. Shipping over distances can cost almost as much as a single print in some cases.
If you're in Hamilton or can find us at one of our out-of-town events, we'd be happy to work with you on returns and exhanges.

Framing
While we don't offer frames for purchase, you can find frames ready-made to fit our prints on the shelf of many local stores and chains. The prints are all created in standard North American frame sizes. (i.e. not always available at the Scandinavian-based furniture and meatball store, check first before you go)
