Nile River, Feluccas on the Nile River and Old Cataract Hotel, Aswan, Egypt

Comments:

The Nile River mural is an actual chemical print on heavy photopaper, not a lithograph or a poster. It is a clean (no spots, hairs, lint, etc.) print of exceptional color. For those who have visited Aswan, it is very evocative of the trip. AllPosters should consider producing other murals with an Egyptian motif, antiquities sites, tomb reliefs, etc. The size, 6' x 4' is ideal for its use. The method of hanging is novel and fairly simple with the provided velcro-like hangers. I would have doubts, however, about the larger murals sold here (i.e., the 3 panel murals, each overlapping panel 6' x 4') in using these hangers because of the overlaps, buckling problems, keeping the seams straight (even with a 2nd person helping), i.e., not for the squeemish considering the cost. But the single large panel seems perfect. A note of caution: two people should handle it carefully. Unrolling and handling in haste can cause dings, dents, and crescent marks in the surface. Ideally, if one has a spare room with a rug or carpet, or space somewhere, it should be unrolled on it carefully and a series of books placed around the edges to aid the uncurling process. After a couple of days, it should be turned over to the backside (with another person's help) and the process repeated for another couple of days before attaching the hangers on the backside. Although it will have to be rolled up again as it is attached to the wall, it should hang better than if attempted straight from the box in its long-term, warehouse-stored curled condition. (A personal opinion only since I did it this way and did not have two to try an immediate hanging for comparison).
