This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a cityscape stretching across the frame. Mike's love of photography started at age 10 when his father taught him how to use his old Pentax SLR camera. By the time he graduated high school, he had also graduated from his 35mm Pentax, to an old 4x5 Graflex camera. From the beginning, landscapes were his true passion. During Summer vacations in Maine, Mike would choose to climb around the rocky shore with a camera and tripod instead of shopping with his family in downtown Bar Harbor. He soon landed a job shooting photos for a local newspaper where he continued to work while studying photography in college. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.

A beautiful picture, ruined by a grey line down the side and poor quality print
The original photo for this of the Chicago skyline is beautiful. Unfortunately, there's either a problem with the source image or their production process, or both. First problem is that the photo should wrap around the frame. It does, but there's a vertical gray line on the left side. It looks like maybe it's in the source and they're trying to hide it where the canvas wraps. But it's still clearly visible on the side and doesn't look right. And there were also flaws in the print where you could see white canvas below it. So I ordered a replacement. The replacement was even worse. This time the grey line was still there, but it wasn't even on the side. It wrapped across the side edge and into the front. And again there were white splotches where the ink should go.I realize it's a print and a fairly cheap one, but I have other giclee prints that came out great without these kind of flaws. And the grey line in roughly the same spot sounds like a problem with the source they're using. I would have loved to try for a third time, as I really do love Chicago skyline photos, but Amazon didn't offer an additional replacement. So my search will continue.

Poor Quality & Blemishes
This is my first amazon review in my 3 years as an Amazon prime member. Per the pictures, there are vertical lines across the whole print. There is also white line across the middle of the print along with a white blemish at the top. For the price this is really disappointing. There are many other options on Amazon, I would recommend shopping elsewhere.
