Pride of Baltimore 22" x 28" acrylic on canvas - Original painting by Steve Rowlands 

Original Painting

The Pride of Baltimore was an authentic reproduction of a 19th-century Baltimore clipper topsail schooner, a style of vessel made famous by its great success in the War of 1812. Commissioned on May 1, 1977 by Mayor William Donald Schaefer of Baltimore City and the State of Maryland, she spent nine years at sea logging over 150,000 miles, equal to six times around the globe. On May 14, 1986, on her return home Pride of Baltimore was lost at sea, her Captain and three of the crew did not survive.

The Pride of Baltimore II was commissioned as the successor and memorial to the Pride in 1988, sailing in the same Goodwill Ambassador role. Pride II has sailed nearly 200,000 miles, and visited over 200 ports in 40 countries.

What is a Giclée print and why is it the best?

Giclée printing is a process that uses fade-resistant, archival inks and archival substrates to print on large format printers. 

What makes a Giclee?

1) Any image that is to be printed as a giclee needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI). In the case of a photo or conventional artwork reproduction, that means that the camera or scanner used to capture the image or scan the artwork must be able to do so at 300 DPI.

2) For giclee printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be of archival quality. Any professional series paper will probably indicate if it is archival quality on the box. Typically it will say it is acid free and consists of a 100 per cent cotton or rag base.

3) The last element in a true giclee print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclee print is that giclees are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower-cost inkjets.

Pigment-based inks have a longer lifespan, and can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading. The type of printer used to create giclees is usually a larger format model that specifically uses pigment-based inks and will hold around eight to 12 different colour ink cartridges. The more inks used, the more sophisticated the colour range available on final output.
