Each poster is hand-printed and handled, to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The matte paper and high quality of inks make for a vibrant image which looks great both framed, and au-naturel. Printed in Los Angeles, CA, on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper, heavyweight stock, high color gamut, using Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. Framed posters offer the same, museum-quality printed poster, but wrapped in a protective black frame. The frame is lightweight and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector, so it won't break in the mail. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

Background: Part of Project Mercury in the early 1960's, the Liberty Bell 7 was so called because of its distinctive shape. Not only was it named after the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, but it was painted with a white "crack" to match its namesake. After a successful suborbital flight, the capsule malfunctioned on splashdown. Astronaut Gus Grissom was recovered safely, but the Liberty Bell 7 sank to the bottom of the ocean and wasn't recovered for almost 40 years. I love the sense of humor involved with painting a giant crack onto a spacecraft, and I wanted to incorporate that into the patch design. Of course, the crack doesn't make sense unless you've got the capsule shape to go with it! The background is meant to evoke both the night sky and the waves of the ocean, a nod to both the Liberty Bell 7's mission and its long years underwater. — Sarajea Martin
