The General Grant Tree III
Included in the King’s Canyon National Park series.
Circa 2017.
A unique destination while in King's Canyon was when I visited the General Grant Tree, located specifically in Grant Grove. The measured trunk volume makes it the second largest sequoia tree in the world. Ahead of visiting the tree it was difficult to comprehend the immense size, age and stature of this beautiful beast until I stood at the base of it.
An interesting side note: President Eisenhower declared the General Grant Tree to be a National Shrine in 1956. He dedicated it "in memory of the men and women of the Armed Forces who have served and fought and died to keep this Nation free." It is the only example of a living shrine in the United States. Salute!
*This particular version is from my ‘Black Series,’ which is enhanced via a custom digital preset. There are select editions within this collection per this technique.
PRINTING INFORMATION
Every digital print within the collection is produced using either Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta, a 100% cotton paper with a subtle luster finish (315GSM), or Hahnemühle William Turner, a mold-made watercolor paper specially coated for inkjet printing (310GSM). These are two of my preferred papers to work with, chosen for their remarkable depth, texture, and archival quality, allowing me to create prints intended to be enjoyed for a lifetime.
____________________
Each LIMITED EDITION print includes a carefully sized white paper margin where my signature and the corresponding edition number are hand-noted, further authenticating the piece as part of
the collection.
Also included with each LIMITED EDITION print is a uniquely designed certificate of authenticity featuring my signature, the title of the work, and its edition number. For long-term preservation, I recommend attaching the certificate in an envelope on the back of the framed artwork.
____________________
The sizes listed reflects the overall dimensions of your finished print, including the white border. This border is intentionally incorporated into the design to create a naturally matted presentation, giving the artwork a refined gallery-style appearance. This can help alleviate the added expense of professional matting, and the need for a larger frame as well.
Please note that slight variations in border proportions may occur depending on the image format and selected print size, thus in some circumstances resulting in uneven white border on two of the sides. This is done intentionally as it creates a unique presentation of those particular pieces of my artwork, along with providing uniformity within the print sizes I offer. If preferred, your professional framer can easily trim the final white border to create perfectly balanced sides prior to the final framing. It wont effect the value of your investment.
____________________
I personally take great care in ensuring each print is packaged securely for safe arrival. Once your piece arrives, I recommend keeping it inside the protective sleeve until it is ready to be framed. Larger prints should be handled with particular care when unrolling, as damage can occur if rushed or handled improperly. For oversized works, I strongly suggest having the print unrolled and prepared by a professional framer.
