Shark River Slough Everglades Wall Art | Vintage Florida Print

Shark River Slough is the slow heart of Everglades National Park, the channel that gives the River of Grass its name. This vintage poster follows the water as it bends away through sawgrass toward a single tree island, with towering summer cumulus stacked above a wide, quiet horizon.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: broad bands of sawgrass green and olive, water drawn as pale blue ribbon with hand-inked ripples, and clouds built in soft cream and shadowed grey.
• It names the exact place. Shark River Slough, the River of Grass, Florida, with the park date and the coordinates 25.32 N, 80.93 W set along the bottom edge.
• Shark River Slough is the widest and deepest of the freshwater channels crossing the park, carrying most of the sheet flow that moves south toward Florida Bay.
• Meadow green, olive and sky blue over a cream border make a calm palette for a bedroom, a study or a north-facing living room.
• Drawn in the same style as the rest of the 63-park series, so several hang together as one set.

Styling it at home

This is a horizontal-feeling scene in a vertical frame, so it sits well over a low sideboard or a bench where the eye has room to travel. The greens agree with warm woods, walnut and rattan, and with off-white or clay-toned walls rather than cool grey. Give it a linen chair and a trailing plant nearby and the sawgrass reads as an extension of the room. It pairs naturally with Congaree or Big Cypress country in the same series.

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 Everglades National Park prints in the shop? This is the Shark River Slough view, with the location and coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other Everglades 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.
