UNESCO WHS - Pearling, Testimony of an Island Econ Postcard

UNESCO WHS - Pearling, Testimony of an Island Econ Postcard

UNESCO WHS Serie Pearling, Testimony of an Island Economy The site consists of seventeen buildings in Muharraq City, three offshore oyster beds, part of the seashore and the Qal’at Bu Mahir fortress on the southern tip of Muharraq Island, from where boats used to set off for the oyster beds. The listed buildings include residences of wealthy merchants, shops, storehouses and a mosque. The site is the last remaining complete example of the cultural tradition of pearling and the wealth it generated at a time when the trade dominated the Gulf economy. It also constitutes an outstanding example of traditional utilisation of the sea’s resources and human interaction with the environment, which shaped both the economy and the cultural identity of the island’s society. UNESCO World Heritage Site in Bahrain Name: Pearling, Testimony of an Island Economy Location: Muharraq Governorate, Northern Region Inscription: 2012 Category: Cultural (iii) Unesco Ref: 1364 Special Feature: The card has a QR-Code on the backside to navigate for more Informationas about the side

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.

The Zazzle cards are always beautifully done and these were no exception. I love these cards because, after over 70 years of collecting, I can fill in the gaps. I especially like the ones of UNESCO heritage sites, some of which are fairly obscure, and which have both photos and texts on them.
