These swimmers are likely cooling off at a sandy beach known as Dandy Point, north of the shipyards where Thirteenth Street met the East River. Comments about urban swimming in this period often refer to rowdy groups of naked male youths, but Chappel illustrates what one historian later described as mixed groups—"the men at one spot the women at another, chang[ing] good garments for old ones." Still, some boys must have indeed been raucous, as the council passed a law in 1803 outlawing "the practice of swimming or playing and sporting in the water . . . between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m." on Sundays.

For the Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the chosen artwork on the aluminium composite white-primed surface. The bright & white parts of the original artpiece shimmer with a silk gloss, however without the glow.

Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the painting to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.

- Canvas print: A printed canvas, not to be confused with a real painting on a canvas, is a digital replica printed on a UV direct printing machine. It generates the particular look of three-dimensionality. Your printed canvas of this masterpiece will allow you to transform your fine art print into a large artwork as you would see in a gallery.
