London art print of London Eye architectural line drawing

The Product: London art print of London Eye architectural line drawing

Opened on December 31st 1999, the Millennium Wheel, or London Eye as it’s more commonly known, has become the focal point of London’s annual New Year’s Eve celebrations and fireworks spectacular, centred around Big Ben at the Houses of Parliament and the South Bank of the River Thames. It was originally built as a temporary structure, to usher in the new century, but its commercial success as a tourist attraction, offering incredible views of the city, has seen it made a permanent fixture. Europe’s tallest Ferris wheel, the structure is 443 feet (135 m) tall with a diameter of 394 feet (120 m). This architectural print depicts a detailed section of the London Eye.

The Lowdown

A signed Giclée, this artwork 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, 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.
