Description
Three Sisters Suspension Bridge Detail Blueprint Drawing. Pierre L’Enfant was the first person to suggest a bridge over the Potomac River at the Three Sisters Island rocky outcropping near Georgetown in 1791. Many similar proposals followed. This design by Army Engineer in Charge Alfred L. Rives for a Potomac River suspension bridge to accommodate railroad and carriage traffic was not built.
This print is available in the original color with a white border and also with a Parchment background and no border.
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.
