ROCK ISLAND STATE PARK - DOOR COUNTY|| WISCONSIN LANDMARK ART PRINT

Rock Island State Park- Door County || Wisconsin Landmark Art Print

Giclée Fine Art open edition print of an Original illustration by Mark Herman

The Pottawatomie Lighthouse, on a high bluff at the northern tip of Rock Island, dates from 1836, before Wisconsin became a state. Many of Wisconsin's settlers from Europe came by Great Lakes steamships in those days before railroads and highways were built in the territory. Without the radar or global positioning satellites (GPS) available today, the ships risked crashing into rocky points or running aground.

Shipowners petitioned the U.S. Congress and the government set aside land for a light on Rock Island. The Pottawatomie light was the first of many lighthouses erected at key points along Wisconsin's Great Lakes shorelines.

About our prints: We only use Epson Brand Printers, Epson inks and Epson Enhanced Matte Paper to ensure our high quality standards and attention to detail is consistent with every print you purchase from us. Every print is made by our family owned small business and personally inspected.
Please note that some color tones and intensities may vary slightly from online to in person, but the heavy stock premium matte paper nicely enhances the rich colors in Mark’s artwork.

All of our prints include a white printed border, designed to look great when placed directly into a frame without the need for an additional mat.
The 8x10 and 16x20 prints include a small original "landmark icon" line art illustration at the bottom of the print (example image shows the size of the icon but each landmark features a unique image created by the artist to compliment the print location).
