{"product_id":"canadian-museum-of-immigration-at-pier-21-greeting-card","title":"Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, Greeting Card","description":"\u003cp\u003ePier 21 stands on the Halifax waterfront as one of the most significant buildings in Canadian history, the point of arrival for over one million immigrants who passed through its doors between 1928 and 1971. For generations of newcomers, this modest shed on the edge of the Atlantic was their first step on Canadian soil, the place where they shed the weight of the old world and began the long journey inland to build new lives. Displaced persons from post-war Europe, refugees, war brides, and families seeking a fresh start all walked through these doors, carrying little more than hope and a suitcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Pier 21 is home to the Canadian Museum of Immigration, a National Historic Site that honours the stories of those who arrived here and the country they helped shape. The Halifax waterfront stretches in both directions, the harbour deep and wide, the same waters that once carried ships from Liverpool, Rotterdam, and Genoa. This sketch captures the building as it stands today, a quiet monument to courage, resilience, and the enduring promise of Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available as a greeting card, a meaningful way to share a piece of Canadian history with someone special.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOR GREETING CARDS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize available is: 4.25\"x5.5\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCards are blank inside, perfect for your own personal message.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA kraft envelope is included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll greeting cards are packed in a clear cellophane bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePAPER \u0026amp; DESCRIPTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCards are of my original handmade marker sketches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor my original work I use Copic, and Winsor and Newton alcohol-based ink markers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eECO EFFORTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's very important to us to keep being as eco-friendly as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLA compostable sleeves and recycled postcards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe welcome and encourage any suggestions you might have.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow Wynand's artwork under @downtownsketcher on Instagram!\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/downtownsketcher\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/downtownsketcher\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOPYRIGHT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***************\u003cbr\u003eAny unauthorized reprint or use of this image is strictly prohibited.
