Located on land once occupied by the Coquille Indians, the Coquille River Lighthouse was built in 1896 atop Rackliff Rock. The fourth-order Fresnel lens produced a fixed white light, but an occulting apparatus raised and lowered a brass cylinder around the lamp’s chimney to show light for twenty-eight seconds followed by a two-second eclipse. The lighthouse itself was built of brick and covered with a layer of stucco. The design was unique with a cylindrical tower attached to the east side of an elongated, octagonal room, which housed the fog signal equipment and had a large trumpet protruding from its western wall.
Fine art photographic papers offer fade-resistant, archival inks (pigment based) that are sprayed onto the substrate making for an archival print that will last a lifetime. Photographs are printed either on (1) Metallic photo paper that provides a high-gloss, metallic appearance or on (2) Luster that provides a slightly glossy, textured look. Paper selection is dictated by the characteristics of the photograph. This loose-print option will be packaged securely and should arrive within 1-2 weeks.
Aluminum prints are made by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Depending on the image, either white glossy or sheer glossy finishes are produced. The infused image produces rich, vivid colors and detail not found in any other media. Metal prints are durable and do not fade or stain over time. Aluminum prints are fitted with a floating mount that allows the print to hang directly on the wall. If you prefer to have your photograph framed once you receive it, you may request “no float mount” to allow for traditional framing.
