Whales Back Lighthouse Detail Drawing – New Hampshire Lighthouse, Lighthouse Print, Maritime Poster, Beach House Decor, Portsmouth Harbor

Description

Whales Back Lighthouse Detail Drawing of New Tower. Whaleback Light is a historic lighthouse marking the mouth of the Piscataqua River in Kittery, Maine. It is located on a rocky outcrop. Whaleback marks the approach to the harbor of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and has often been referred to as a New Hampshire lighthouse, but this rugged granite tower is clearly is in Maine waters by about 1500 feet. The station (known in early records as “Whales Back”) was first established in 1830. The tower was upgraded in 1855. The present tower was built in 1872.

The original scanned image was digitally restored and cleaned up by me. During this process I adjust the colors, the exposure and fix any blemishes on the print. However, I do not retouch everything in order to maintain the vintage poster look. This ensures that this reproduction looks as good as possible and produces a high quality print – while maintaining a historical accuracy in its look.

WHAT MAKES MY PRINTS DIFFERENT

Sure, you might find similar pictures elsewhere but not all prints are equal. I don’t use regular printers and paper to print this art. Instead, I use a high end lab and the prints are made on professional photo printers using high quality a archival inks and acid-free archival Lustre paper. Lustre is a premium finish on a heavier paper and offers the vibrant colors of glossy with the fingerprint-resistant finish of matte. This type of finish avoids glare on the print.

Prints are available in all popular sizes. You can select your size while you order.

My listing photos are low resolution. Original high resolution files are used for printing. My pictures are not framed and do not include a frame. Some of the pictures with frames are just for illustration purposes only.
