About This Image
Old Sentinel – Morris Island Lighthouse Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.
The title of this Morris Island lighthouse canvas print is Old Sentinel. The Morris island lighthouse is largely in ruins and it seems an apt name for the old coastal guardian pictured here. Morris Island Light was built in 1876 on the south end of the entrance to Charleston Harbor. It’s still South Carolina’s tallest light. It may seem hard to picture now but when it was built there was a small community there in addition to the keeper’s cottage. Coastal erosion has since changed the coastline and the light was first automated in 1938 and finally decommissioned in 1962. Seen here in ruins with the moon acting as its lantern, it has a transcendent feeling.
Have you seen the Morris Island Lighthouse or have some connection to it? Or do you simply appreciate lighthouses in general? Either way I hope you’ll share with me what attracted you to this lighthouse canvas print.
Canvas Prints – Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a great choice for decorating your home or office. Canvas art is a classic choice that is at home in traditional and modern decor alike.
After the purchase of your canvas print, it is made to your order. The artwork is printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas. The use of archival inks and substrate means that your canvas art print should last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
When ordering your print, you have a choice between glossy and matte finishes. While I ordinarily love matte finishes on prints, I do like the sheen that comes on glossy canvas prints. Ultimately I would suggest letting the amount of light in your space guide your choice. In a brightly lit environment, I would lean towards a matte finish to reduce the chance of glare.
There are three wrap styles to choose from for canvas prints. The mirrored wrap choice mirrors and extends the image to the sides of the canvas wrap (without losing any of the original artwork on the front). The majority of the time I would suggest this is the best choice. The other two options are a solid black wrap or white wrap. You can see a preview of each option when selecting wrap color.
After printing, the canvas is stretched over and secured to a wooden frame of 1.5″ by 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes from 5 to 7 business days. Your artwork will arrive in sturdy packaging. The hanging wire will be attached and all hardware necessary to hang your canvas print will be included. Canvas prints are a great ready-to-hang option.
