Print of Battersea power station

The Product: Print of Battersea power station

This print of Battersea Power Station presents the iconic art deco building in full frontal view, replete with cranes ghosting the facade and the London skyline receding in the background. Designed by Leonard Pearce of the London Power Company, the architects were J Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. One of the world’s largest brick buildings and made famous by its appearance on the cover of Pink Floyd’s Animals, The Battersea Power Station has been redeveloped for luxury residential and commercial use.

The Lowdown

A signed Giclée, this print of Battersea power station is printed using the highest quality acid-free light-fast archival 300gsm Minuet Cotton Rag. The heavyweight etching board is velvety smooth with a fine surface texture and is one of the most widely used media worldwide for artwork and photography. Using pigment-based UltraChrome and Ultra Violet (UV) inks, the Giclée printing process ensures superior detail, colours and longevity. The print comes unframed and is delivered in a cardboard tube for you to take straight to your local framer.

Styling Ideas?

Need framing advice? We’d suggest a slim, white frame with subtly visible woodgrain and a white card mount, if you wish the frame to disappear – say, against a white wall – and the print to stand out. Equally as effective is the same style of frame in black – as here – also teamed with a white card mount, to outline the drawing and act like bold, precise punctuation! The third option would be to go for a softer, warmer effect with a natural or stained wooden mount. All three will work beautifully, depending on the backdrop, and the look you want to achieve. It’s worth knowing that artworks such as these will often leap out, to striking effect, from a dark-hued wall.
