Description
Rhuddlan Castle, North Wales
Rhuddlan Castle was built on the orders of Edward 1st to ensure effective English control of the newly captured region; construction started in 1277 and continued until 1282 when the war resumed largely due to resentment over the increasingly brutal attempts to impose English laws and customs on Wales. This time Edward 1 set out to completely conquer Wales and Rhuddlan was in the front line. Based on building records, it may have suffered damage from attack(s) between 1282-5 and efforts were made to improve the castle’s resilience by ensuring it could be re-supplied from sea; the River Clwyd was canalised for a stretch of over two miles. By 1283 though the Welsh had been defeated and, according to an Elizabethan historian, it was at Rhuddlan where Edward 1 promised to give the Welsh a new “prince who was born in Wales, could speak no English and whose life and conversation nobody could stain”. He was referring to his infant son, the future Edward II, who had been born at Caernarfon.

The special feature of the light white paper (285 g/m²) is its material: 100% alpha-cellulose defines the characteristically coarse texture. It gives your image a timeless, true-to-the-original charisma with a 3D effect. The hand-made style paper is highly water resistant and the use of premium K3 Epson prints ensures luminous colours and deep blacks for at least 100 years.
Textile print on stretcher frame – a fabric print using modern technology
Your image will be printed on fabric in razor-sharp quality and with brilliant colours and with its subtly textured surface; it transforms any photo into a unique gallery work that is full of life. During the thermal sublimation process, the colours are completely evaporated into the material. The resolution of up to 720 dpi and the enlarged CMYK colour spectrum allows accurate colour reproduction with clear contours. We only use textiles that are free of harmful substances and that have been awarded the internationally recognised Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. Your image is mounted on the solid wood stretcher frame in its true form using only, high quality stretcher frames made of solid wood. The spruce wood comes from German suppliers and is sourced from sustainable forests. To give the stretcher frames permanent protection from losing shape, we triple reinforce the corners under the textile print using metal braces. When mounting on the stretcher frame we avoid using wedges – the frame is so stable that you won’t need to loosen or tighten it at a later stage and it will arrive ready to hang.
