This is a giclée print of the silhouette, in black & grey, of the Falkirk Wheel - a magnificent, mechanical marvel, constructed to replace a series of lock gates built in the 19th century and long since demolished. It’s a rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal and is recognised as an iconic landmark worthy of Scotland's traditional engineering expertise.
These prints are created by firstly outlining the historical monument to create a silhouette, and then layering that artwork over a section of the specified area on a beautiful old map.
This print measures 17 x 17cm. We have a wide range of these prints covering many iconic buildings, monuments and statues from around our beautiful area of East Lothian, as well many famous landmarks from Scotland and the wider UK. A set of 4 framed Old Map Silhouettes hanging in a square formation (2 x 2) is a very striking design statement to enhance any wall, as are 3 (or 5) hanging side by side. See also our Old Map Collections - a number of Old Map prints together in the one frame.
