This image is copied from an illustration drawn by T Hearne and engraved by W Byrne and S Middiman. The view is taken from the River Skell with the Old Bondgate stone bridge showing far right. The dedication reads 'To William Aislabie Esq, Member of the Borough of Rippon, this view of Rippon Minster is inscribed by his most obedient servants Thomas Hearne and William Byrne, London, published as the Act directs, 15th Sep 1779'. Note that there are no pinnacles on the Cathedral. Minster House is visible and the building on this side of Minster House could be the King's Arms. The bridge is the old Bondgate stone bridge.
We use a high resolution 50 mega pixel Canon camera, mounted on a Guardian stand, which allows us to capture A0 plans comfortably without losing any clarity or definition. Plans larger than A0 are digitally stitched using Adobe Photoshop by experienced reprographic staff. Images are captured at a minimum resolution of 300dpi as TIFFS using Phase One capture software.
Paper copies at A4 and A3 size are printed on 120gsm high quality matt paper using good quality printing ink.
Paper copies larger than A3 (A2 up to A0) are printed on 170gsm high quality matt coated paper, using UV inks which do not fade or lose colour over time.
