- Gold sluice and tailings, Home Rule 1872
Product Description
If running water was available, the most efficient method of separating gold from washdirt was to process it through a sluice or 'long tom'. The running water broke up the paydirt and washed away the lighter sands and gravel, leaving the gold caught in the horizontal strips of wood called 'riffles' built across the sluice box.
Our Giclee prints are made to order from high resolution digital scans on archival cotton rag papers using pigment inks. They are printed with a white border allowing you to mount and frame as desired. A Library disclaimer is also printed along the bottom edge of the print.
Prints may take up to 21 days to produce and will be sent to you rolled in a sturdy tube.
Sample prints are available to inspect at the Library Shop.
