Description
A gorgeous 1950s black/white photo of Lake Michigan in the winter. Four visitors, clearly cold and underdressed, take in the spectacular beauty of the Muskegon South Pierhead Lighthouse and Lake Michigan. The photo captures the reflection from the snow-covered waves and the dreamy winter clouds. Resting atop a mantle or credenza, this striking photo is perfect for anyone who knows what the winter wind coming off of Lake Michigan feels like. True beauty in the cold, compelling exploration of what our favorite beach looks like covered in ice and snow.
The quality of the photo detail is remarkable considering the grandeur of its 30" H x 38" W size. The photo is wrapped on a 1/2" thick board (lightweight composite material) which has a bit of warping and wear along the edges, please see photos for details. The wear acts a bit like a patina on this piece and adds to the age creating a timeless piece of artwork that will look just as incredible in 50 more years.
