Image No. 287A7563
The rolling fog on the horizon brings a decisive close to a sunny July day on Lake Michigan. The flashing green light of the Manistee North Pierhead Light guides sailors home at the end of the day. One of 35 lighthouses found on the coast of Lake Michigan. the Manistee North Pierhead Light was built in 1872 to mark the north entrance to the harbor and the Manistee river. The structure is made of cast iron, is 39 feet tall, and holds a ten-sided steel lantern that uses a 5,000 candlepower incandescent electric bulb that is visible for 12 nautical miles in clear weather.
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.
