Cover sheet from the program commemorating the arrival of the first train in Key West, part of the Overseas Railroad Celebration. This historic event marked the completion of Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway on January 22, 1912. A unique piece of memorabilia from a milestone in Florida’s transportation history.
Each frame is handmade by artist Robert Cerkleski using recycled lobster or stone crab traps collected from Key West, Florida. All frames are made with lightweight and durable plexiglass, making them less fragile than traditional glass. On the border of the frame, there is a unique commercial trap tag, always from various years, meaning they are different colors. Due to the handcrafted nature of the frames, no two are exactly alike, and the frame you receive may differ slightly from the one shown in the listing, though it will maintain a similar style and character. The frame includes a photo print (not an original), and the listed size represents the dimensions of the frame itself, with the photo size being approximately 3 inches smaller.
For certain pieces, you'll notice the designation “CANVAS” listed next to the size. This indicates that the photo is printed directly onto canvas, without the use of plexiglass in the frame. As a result, the finished piece has a matte, non-shiny appearance, offering a different aesthetic compared to the standard version with plexiglass.
