Reading Terminal Market, Shopping at Iovine Brothers Giclée (canvas)

America's oldest indoor farmer's market, and one of Philadelphia's most popular tourist attractions, Reading Terminal Market has offered diverse fare, housewares, and regional specialties since 1892. It is unique as it has not been "modernized" and contains much "old world" charm.

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.
