The Description of Egypt is a collection of stunning engravings produced by Napoleon Bonaparte's Institut de France. Over 500 French civilians were dispatched to Egypt in 1798 to survey the vast selection of architecture and antiquities. The enormous undertaking was completed in 1830. ARCH & ORDER has painstakingly enhanced and restored selected engravings from the collection, now available in framed and print only fine art pieces.
Hahnemühle German Etching is a traditional mold-made copperplate printing paper, complete with an inkjet coating designed especially for Fine Art applications. The white art paper made from 100% alpha cellulose is characterized by its extraordinary velvety tactile feel and its fine, clearly defined felt structure. The unique surface texture adds a very special touch to images, showcasing them in all their splendor with impressive three-dimensional effect and depth.
The premium matte inkjet coating guarantees outstanding print results with excellent reproduction of color and detail, deep black and optimum contrasts. German Etching is acid- and lignin-free and meets the most exacting requirements in terms of age resistance.
