ISLAND INSTITUTE - PENTECOST POSTER

 

In closing its retail shop, the Island Institute made it possible for us to purchase their remaining supply of Pentecost posters, never to be re-printed.

 

If you go here on our site, you’ll be able to read the story I wrote about that extraordinary day and that particular fraction of a second.

 

The image and the story have become something of a local legend....here’s a piece from DownEast Magazine which declared it the most iconic photograph ever made in Maine. That certainly caught me by surprise, but editor Brian Kevin did as good a job as anybody in capturing the quirky, enduring oddity of that moment. 


We have a limited supply of these posters and are able to offer them to you for $100, plus tax (if applicable) and shipping of $20, within the US.

Included with the 19 x 28.5” poster is an original (hand-made and signed by me) 8.5 x 11” print of your choice.* These unmatted small prints sell here for $100, so there’s nice icing on this cake! The small prints available in this offer include PentecostClearingGoing ByIsland Model, and, (because at this point in time we all need all the hope we can get) HOPE

 

*Please specify in the "Notes" section of the shopping card which small print you would like.

 

Additionally, your poster will be signed by me and, if so requested, inscribed per your specific instructions upon ordering.* We will also include the printed story behind that day, also signed by me.

 

*Please specify in the "Notes" section of the shopping card how you'd like Peter to inscribe the poster, if you so choose.

In March of 2020, COVID was coming on hard and I thought that maybe a weekly 'hug from Maine' would be welcome, so I started sending these emails every Sunday morning….and I’m still doing that. These are usually short stories about what's behind the images, and people seemed to really enjoy getting them. I discovered that I love sharing in this manner and I so hope that you will enjoy them yourself.
