St. Louis Riverfront Gateway Arch Wall Art | Vintage Missouri Print

The Arch Grounds hold the front edge of Gateway Arch National Park, where mown lawns and curving walks fall away toward the Mississippi. This vintage poster looks up the full sweep of stainless steel against a hard blue sky, with the red brick skyline of St. Louis running low behind the water.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: the arch drawn as two clean ribbons of silver and blue, lawns cut into flat green bands, and the far skyline reduced to rows of warm brick and slate.
• It names the exact place. The Arch Grounds on the St. Louis riverfront, Missouri, with the 2018 park date and the coordinates 38.63 N, 90.19 W set along the bottom edge.
• Gateway Arch was redesignated a national park in 2018, one of the newest in the system, so this is a park poster that most collections do not have yet.
• The arch stands 630 feet tall and spans 630 feet between the outer faces of its legs, making it the tallest monument built in the United States.
• Deep sky blue, brushed silver and lawn green over a cream border make a calm palette for an office, a hallway or a city apartment.
• 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 one leans architectural rather than wild, so it hangs well in a home office, an entryway or a corridor where the strong vertical curve has room above eye level. The steel greys sit easily with black metal frames, concrete, glass and mid-century walnut. On a white or pale grey wall the blue does the work. It also makes a natural gift print for anyone who grew up in Missouri or moved away from St. Louis.

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 Gateway Arch National Park prints in the shop? This is the Arch Grounds view, with the location, the 2018 park date and the coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other Gateway Arch 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.
