Disclaimer: Please noted that there will have additional white space around the actual print. For example, if you order a 16x20 size print, there will be approx. 1" to 2" additional space around the print. The additional white space is acting like a cushion during the shipping. The print will move violently up and down during the shipping and there is for sure the side of the print may bend or damage. With the additonal white space on 4 sides, it can prevent this problem. I understand this may cost you extra time to trim the print to fit in a poster frame. I rather you can receive a perfect print instead a damage one.Thank you very much for your order!

Mankind has always looked up to the sky and wondered at its beauty and secrets.

Paintings that mark the positions of the planets in the night sky have been discovered in Lascaux, France from around 15,000 BC.

Welcome to Ancient Egypt. In the UK, we learn about Ancient Egypt from a young age and if you want to hook kids into history you've got to call in the big guns. Wheel out the mummies, dog-headed gods, crocodiles, pyramids, sarcophaguses, temples, and hieroglyphics! It is very much history entering education through a hail of confetti cannons, ladies dancing, T-shirts being fired into the crowd, whilst ACDC plays at an extremely uncomfortable volume- like it's entering the Superbowl arena. For the most part, the gods are placed where they had a major cult centre, with a couple located at sites where they had temples. This allowed us to include Tutu and Bes, they both bring some unique visuals to the party. We of course haven't included every god and goddess as they had approximately 2000 (I too like to hedge my bets). We tried to cover some of the major ones, some of the others that we found interesting, and have as usual included an assortment of little details scattered throughout the print to discover. This is an A3 digital art print measuring 42 x 29.7 cm on heavyweight perlino cotton paper stock. Printed with ecologically sound UV-resistant inks for longevity.
