Fort Jefferson Dry Tortugas Wall Art | Vintage Florida Keys Print

Fort Jefferson holds the far edge of Dry Tortugas National Park, a red brick hexagon set on Garden Key with water so clear the seagrass beds read through it. This vintage poster catches the fort in flat tropical light, the shallows running from pale sand green through turquoise to the deep blue past the reef.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: flat blocks of turquoise and teal, hand-drawn ripples combing across the shallows, and the fort walls built up in warm coral red.
• It names the exact place. Fort Jefferson on Garden Key, Florida, with the park date and the coordinates 24.63 N, 82.87 W set along the bottom edge.
• Fort Jefferson is one of the largest brick buildings in the Americas, laid up from an estimated 16 million bricks on a small key about 70 miles west of Key West.
• Turquoise, sea green and coral brick against a cream border make a calm palette for bathrooms, coastal bedrooms and bright hallways.
• Drawn in the same style as the rest of the 63-park series, so several hang together as one set.

Styling it at home

The turquoise band carries a white or pale sand wall better than a dark one, and the coral brick warms up cool grey tiling, which makes this an easy fit for a bathroom or a shower room hallway. Rattan, bleached oak and unglazed white ceramic sit close to the poster's palette. Hang it beside other water-led prints from the series, such as Biscayne or Virgin Islands, and let the seagrass greens repeat across the wall.

Shipping and care

Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang with hardware fitted. Keep the print out of direct sunlight and wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth.

FAQ

How is this different from the other Dry Tortugas National Park prints in the shop? This is the Fort Jefferson view, with the location and coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other Dry Tortugas National Park designs show different views in mid-century, oil painting and watercolour styles.

Is a frame included with the paper print? No. Paper prints ship unframed; the framed options are the framed canvas materials.
