The Ebro River starts in the Pyrenees, descends through Spain and spreads out into an expanse of wetlands, forming a delta that covers 135 square miles. For more than 13 million years, floods have brought sediment down into this delta.

As people cut down the forests during the Roman Empire, and then cleared fields for farms, more soil got washed down, building up the delta. 600 years ago, the river changed course, abandoning some sections of the delta, and waves began to eat away at those, forming slender arms, known as spits. 300 years ago, the river changed course again, leaving another spit, and several small lagoons.

Recently, people have built 147 dams upstream, cutting off the constant supply of sediment. The delta land has now begun to sink, even as the Mediterranean Sea rises, so a large fraction of the delta may be submerged by 2100.

Process

We print on aluminum, then protect the surface with a matte lamination. We attach mounting hardware to the back, and add the artist's signature on a label identifying the picture, and giving its number in the edition.

We package the print in tissue paper and extra layers of cardboard. We ship via US Priority Mail, insured.

Please allow two weeks for printing, packaging, and shipping.

When you receive your order, please check to make sure that the picture is just what you are hoping for. If you have any problem with the picture, please contact jonathanreeveprice@gmail.com. Within 14 days of delivery, we accept returns for a full refund.

These images work best without a frame. Each print comes with mounting hardware already attached to the back, so you can hang it up right away. No need for wiring, or framing.
