This article updates a 2006 guide to Mountain Images, a UK supplier of mountain photo prints. It preserves the core points: the company sold a wide range of mountain images (including Lake District views), showcased photographers such as Ian Evans, offered framed and signed prints, and listed specific print sizes. Many operational details (current catalogue, prices, payment methods and delivery) have likely changed and should be verified on the supplier's current website.

Buy quality mountain prints in Britain

If you want framed or unframed mountain photographs in Britain, one supplier often cited is Mountain Images. The company (best known for landscape and mountain prints) marketed a catalog of mountain images and individual photographers online in the 2000s. If you plan to buy from them today, check the site's current catalogue and terms first.

What they offered

Historically, Mountain Images listed more than 200 mountain prints, including major ranges and British fells such as Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, the Himalayas, the Karakoram, Snowdonia and the Scottish Highlands, alongside images from the English Lake District. 1

They presented work by a range of photographers and ran a rotating "mountain of the month" feature on the homepage. One photographer frequently mentioned in older listings is Ian Evans, described then as a Scottish-based photographer who climbs and photographs British and international peaks. The site highlighted seasonal viewpoints of Lake District peaks such as Skiddaw, Saddleback and the Scafells, and offered prints of Great Gable from Wasdale. 2

Formats, framing and pricing (historical notes)

In earlier listings Mountain Images offered signed and framed options and suggested prints made good gifts, especially around Christmas. A 2006 price example quoted a single print for £25 and a signed, framed print for £45; delivery and production times were described as several days. These specific prices and lead times are historical and should be verified on the current site. 3

Common print sizes shown in the old listings included:

  • 36" x 16" (approximately 91.4 cm x 40.6 cm)
  • 24" x 12" (approximately 61.0 cm x 30.5 cm)
  • 20" x 16" (approximately 50.8 cm x 40.6 cm)
  • 16" x 20" (approximately 40.6 cm x 50.8 cm)
Confirm available sizes and aspect ratios before ordering. 4

Payments, delivery and security

Earlier checkout instructions recommended card payments and named Barclaycard Business as a payment partner. Modern e-commerce sites typically accept a wider range of payment methods and use updated security measures; confirm current payment options and site security statements before submitting payment. 5

Practical advice

If you want a specific Lake District view or a signed photographer's print, contact the supplier first to confirm availability, current pricing, framing options and shipping times. If Mountain Images no longer operates, local Lake District galleries, established print houses, and reputable online marketplaces are good alternatives for high-quality mountain photography. 6

  1. Confirm whether Mountain Images still operates and the current website URL.
  2. Verify the current size of the Mountain Images catalogue (number of prints) and which ranges they list.
  3. Confirm whether Ian Evans is (or was) represented by Mountain Images and details of his biography and portfolio.
  4. Check whether Mountain Images currently features a monthly 'mountain of the month' and which peaks are highlighted now.
  5. Verify current pricing for unframed and framed/signed prints and any seasonal offers.
  6. Confirm current payment methods and whether Barclaycard Business is still used or supported.
  7. Verify current production and delivery lead times and international shipping options.
