An old Fire Watch Tower at Glade Top Trail, Missouri. This is a steel tower with a small wooden room, with nothing but windows, at the top. Every day, all day, there would have been a person in this room watching for any sign of a fire, from the town below, the forest, or in a town further away. This tower was built on a hill and was one of the tallest, and one of the few still standing. When towers were the only way to see a fire, if you knew where to look, you could see another tower with binoculars. This way no land was left un-monitored at any time.

This is one of the darkest skies in Missouri. One of the only places in the state that you can still see the milky way. In the bottom right corner you can see the Orion Nebula. this is a bright nebula that you can see with your necked eye and one of the easiest to find.

This is a 13x19 print, with a two inch black matt, and a 1.5 inch zebra wood frame. The final size is 20x26 inches. The print is not designed to be removed from the frame. The tabs holding it in with not bend, they will break.

This comes with the frame and it’s ready to hang. The frame is made from Zebra wood, a hard wood from Africa. The glass is museum glass, there will be no reflections, even in bright, direct light, you will be able to see the print. This glass is the highest Archival Grade possible, all UV light is blocked. The paper is inkjet archival, rated to last 100 years without fade.

This frame is heavy. When hanging, you will need to use a longer screw, with a wall anchor if you do not hit a stud.

WHEN CHOOSING SHIPPING, YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE THE OPTION THAT IS FOR FRAMED PRINTS. BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT, THE SHIPPING COST SIGNIFICANTLY MORE. IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE THE CORRECT SHIPPING, THEN I CAN NOT SHIP IT TO YOU. THIS IS BIG AND HEAVY, SO IT COSTS MORE TO SHIP THAN AN UNFRAMED PRINT.

If you are being a framed print and an un-framed print. Then you have to do two separate transaction. Otherwise the shipping will not be correct. I will have to refund the framed print, so that you can re buy it using the correct shipping.

After the print has left my hands it is out of my control. I will package it to the best of my abilities, using a sturdy box, that doesn’t have much extra room, using bubble wrap, foam, and other protective material, to ensure that the frame doesn’t move. But things can happen during shipment. I claim no responsibilities to what happens after I drop it off. I will document the packing of this print, and ensure that there is a tracking number, and that you have the tracking number. If anything happens, then you will have to open a claim with the post office.
