Brockwell Lido wall art print

The Product: Brockwell Lido wall art print

Brockwell Lido wall art might seem like a strange concept to some, but to lido-lovers and long-serving Lambeth residents, it represents an ideal. Much loved and famously saved by locals, the Brockwell Lido was designed by the London County Council parks department to replace the Brockwell bathing pond. Opened in July 1937, the building represents an eclectic combination of traditional and modern design principles: the Lido’s long, flatness characterizes the swim subculture of early-mid-century London. Brockwell Lido was designated Grade II listed status in 2003.

The Lowdown

A signed Giclée, this Brockwell Lido wall art piece is printed on 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.
