Grand Canyon Mural Project 1941-1942 Exhibition Poster, After Ansel Adams Framed

PRODUCT DETAILS

• Material: Offset-lithographic poster on white poster stock, framed under glass in a plain black-painted wood moulding, no mat

• Dimensions: Framed approx. 24 1/2"W x 30"H; sheet approx. 22" x 28"; printed image approx. 15 3/4"W x 13 7/8"H

• Color/Finish: Black-and-white landscape image printed in black ink on white stock, black-painted frame

• Condition: Fair. The image area is clean with good blacks, but the lower white margin shows two areas of abraded/impressed paper with surface residue at the upper edge, plus a small red/orange speck and a fine scratch. Sheet is slightly cockled. Frame is sound with minor edge rubs.

• Era/Period: Photograph taken 1941-42; this poster is a later open-edition reproduction from the ongoing Mural Project poster series, still printed today

• Subject: Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona - stepped buttes and terraces in strong side light with the San Francisco Peaks on the horizon. The poster's own printed disclaimer states it was "Printed from a copy of an Ansel Adams photograph," meaning this is a reproduction poster, not an original photograph or print by Adams. There is no signature, no edition number, and no publisher's mark on the sheet.

This is a large, ready-to-hang black-and-white Grand Canyon scene in a sound black frame, suited to a den, office, or reading room wall. It's an open-edition poster clearly disclosed as such by its own printed text, sold here for its decorative image and usable frame rather than any claim of rarity or origin.
