Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Once upon a time, a young boy named Samuel Clemens grew up in a small town named Hannibal, Missouri on the banks of the great Mississippi River. He later became a riverboat captain and a great American author known all over the world. Hannibal is still there and it is still a small and colorful town. Although Samuel changed his name to a term frequently used on the riverboats which meant " Safe Waters", his memory is alive and well in ... Mark Twain's Town.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
