About This Image
Alabama Theatre Marquee Blueprint metal print by Mark Tisdale.
This metal print features an Alabama theatre marquee blueprint design. There’s just something about the style of old signs like the Alabama Theatre Marquee that speak to some of us. Those old marquees hearken back to the golden age of American movie palaces. It was a time when those old theaters were a new and different experience. Vaudeville stages were not yet a thing of the past and any night out at the movies was an unparalleled adventure. Not only did the movies provide an experience of being transported to another world, the theaters themselves were built in a fantastical style.
And the Alabama Theatre Marquee in Birmingham exemplifies that style. Imagine this classic old sign in the night sky in the 1920s in a world where the electric light is still a relatively new invention! It’s a beautiful sight today but it must have been truly magical back then!
The vintage style of the Alabama Theatre marquee was what I wanted to capture in this blueprint inspired design. It evokes a feeling of a long ago blueprint plan made of that classic old sign before it ever reached into the skies in downtown Birmingham. After being well worn by the builders, perhaps it has spent the passing decades in the back of an old cabinet? Thus the signs of patina you see in the artwork on this Alabama metal print.
This Birmingham metal print is based on detailed drawings done by the US Government’s Historic American Building Survey in the 1990s. They documented the historic building as well as the Alabama Theatre Marquee in some detail at the time. Each and every bulb in this detailed artwork reflects the actual vintage sign. Even with such a detailed starting point, the level of precision made creating such a refined piece of art quite time consuming but nonetheless enjoyable.
Do you have fond memories of the Alabama Theatre Marquee? I would enjoy hearing what attracts you to this print? Do you have an architectural background or do you love art that has a vintage feeling?
Metal Print – Product Information
Metal prints are a sleek, contemporary choice for showcasing your artwork. With their high-gloss finish and vibrant color reproduction, these prints offer a modern look that will instantly elevate any room.
Each metal print is custom-made to order, printed directly onto a 1/16″ thick sheet of aluminum. The artwork is then mounted on a 3/4″ thick wooden frame that is recessed from the edges of the print, creating the appearance of your artwork floating slightly away from the wall. This unique design gives your print a polished, modern feel with a minimalistic touch, ideal for contemporary spaces.
All metal prints are made with archival-quality materials, ensuring lasting durability and vibrant color that will stand the test of time. The production process takes 5 to 7 business days, and your print will be shipped securely in sturdy packaging.
When ordering, the only decision left to make is choosing the perfect size for your space.
