This Key Biscayne Canvas print features the Cape Florida Light. This historic lighthouse was constructed in 1825. The lighthouse operated until 1878 when it was replaced by another lighthouse. A century later it was briefly re-activated to mark the Florida Channel into Biscayne Bay. This period of operation lasted from 1978 to 1990 when the Cape Florida Light was again deactivated. The lighthouse was restored in the 1990's and re-lit in 1996. Today it stands in the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park where the lighthouse and an adjacent museum operate to educate the public about the Maritime history of the Miami-Dade region.
This lighthouse was a subject recommended to me by a follower and I had a strong yet for palm trees right now so I was happy to do something with a bit of a tropical vibe. I would love to hear what attracted you to this lighthouse canvas print? Are you familiar with the Cape Florida Light? Or do you simply love lighthouses or tropical scenery? I hope you'll share your thoughts.

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.
