Synthesis of Marine Communications — Fine Art

Cables and radio equipment cross the picture, connected by thin wires and small signal lamps. Synthesis of Marine Communications - 1934 follows the title closely, laying out the parts of a shore station in a clear row. The drawing keeps the shapes separate and the reading easy.

A fine art print carries the image on matte paper, so the pale greys stay soft and the wire lines remain sharp. The frame finish can follow the room, a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture.

It suits a hall near the coat hooks. From the bench you notice the signal lamps first, and only when you pass do the wires and equipment fill in.
