The word Giclée was adopted by Jack Duganne around 1990. He wanted a name for the new type of prints they were producing on a printer that was adapted for fine-art printing. The word Giclée is based on the French word gicleur, meaning a jet or a nozzle.

Newgrange

Every winter solstice, the rising sun shines through the roof box in Newgrange, a tomb dating from approx 5200 years ago in County Meath, Ireland. Here we see the light of dawn lighting the passage, as the ancestors of the millennia watch with reverence.
