Nineteenth Century coach houses are found in many of Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, like this one near Rittenhouse Square. Once lodging carriages and horses, they are located on the tiny streets running behind larger homes and mansions.
A giclée print is an elevation in printmaking technology on stretched canvas. The original oil on canvas artwork is first scanned by the Athenæum of Philadelphia on a sophisticated high-resolution digital scanner with a raking light to capture surface details. The giclée is then printed using a professional eleven-color ink jet printer with archival-quality inks onto high quality cotton canvas. This printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. The canvas giclée is then stretched on 1" or ¾" stretcher bars. An historical and architectural description (written by John) is affixed to the back and the giclée is enclosed in a protective acid-free clear bag.
