Granite, cold water and a red lantern room holding the line against the North Atlantic. This original vintage-style travel poster puts Maine's rockiest coastline on your wall in four flat colours and nothing else.
The design is drawn flat — a white lighthouse with a red lantern room standing on a dark granite headland, layered navy and grey Atlantic swells behind it, two gulls and a low sun, ACADIA NATIONAL PARK across the top and MAINE · ATLANTIC COAST along the foot, worked in deep navy, fog grey, warm cream and one unmistakable lighthouse red. Printed to order on heavyweight matte art paper with a smooth, uncoated surface that keeps those hard colour edges crisp and readable from across the room. No glare, no plastic sheen, no photograph: just paper and ink.
- Paper: 189 g/m2 (10.3 mil) heavyweight matte art stock — substantial enough to hang unframed without curling
- Finish: uncoated matte — no glare under lamps, windows or gallery lighting
- Opacity: 94%, so a wall colour or a second sheet behind it never shows through
- Brightness: 104% ISO — a bright white base that keeps the flat colour blocks saturated
- Origin: paper milled in Japan; every poster is printed to order, never warehoused
Size chart
| Poster size | Art panel (centred) | Works well |
|---|---|---|
| 12" × 18" | 12 × 12 in | desk shelves, small nooks, gallery-wall filler |
| 18" × 24" | 18 × 18 in | bedrooms, home offices, above a console or sofa |
| 24" × 36" | 24 × 24 in | living rooms, stairwells, a single statement wall |
The illustration is a square panel centred on the sheet with a clean margin above and below, so it sits well in an off-the-shelf frame with or without a mat. Ships rolled in a protective tube, unframed.
Quick answers
Which size should I order? The 18" × 24" is the safe default for most walls. Take the 12" × 18" for a desk, a shelf or as part of a gallery cluster, and the 24" × 36" when the poster is meant to be the focal point of the room.
Does it come framed? No — it ships rolled and unframed in a protective tube. All three sizes are standard US frame sizes, so a shop-bought frame fits without a custom mat.
Is this a reprint of an original 1930s poster? No. It is an original illustration drawn in the vintage 1930s national-park travel-poster tradition — the same flat colour blocks and bold type, a new composition. Only fourteen genuine posters of that era were ever printed, covering thirteen parks, and this is not one of them.
What is Acadia actually known for? Rocky Atlantic headlands, carriage roads and Cadillac Mountain — which, between early October and early March, is the first place in the United States to catch the sunrise.
