You can print it yourself if you have access to a decent inkjet plotter. We
have one at work that takes four-foot rolls of paper, and they make them for
rolls even wider than that. The downside is that such large pictures are very
unwieldy. Framing and hanging are the hard part unless, as someone suggested,
you glue it up like wallpaper.
