Lighthouse Drawing Postcard

Pen and Ink Cape May Lighthouse

Another Lighthouse Postcard for Your Collection

Full of history, the 1859 Cape May Lighthouse has 199 steps on its original, cast iron spiral stairway to the top. Below are Cape May Point State Park with all its nature trails, and Cape May Point Borough. Interpretive panels dot the grounds of this pretty beach town in New Jersey. Find them at the base of the imposing historic Jersey landmark and read them as they continue up the climb, telling the stories of Lighthouse Keepers and  the surrounding area.  Worth visiting and hauling yourself up there, just to see the staggering views of the Delaware Bay and mighty Atlantic Ocean. 

Sometimes you want postcards printed matte, not glossy

You might want to see this lovely pen and ink drawing, originally done on vellum, printed on a high quality thick matte paper.  And then you can happily send this postcard off to points faraway to show a fellow collector,  a piece of your New Jersery heritage. Or keep it for your collection of historic lighthouse and other nautical structures.

If Zazzle should send me a penny or two when someone buys something I have carefully chosen to display on this blog, the price stays the same. The card costs nothing extra. For the reader, my quest to find and post some nice cards you might want adds nothing to the cost.
