Clearing Winter Storm, Deluxe Poster

Overview

“For the first time, the New York Graphic Society is publishing three posters with Ansel Adams’ most famous images: Clearing Winter Storm, Yosemite Valley, to commemorate the publication of  YOSEMITE AND THE RANGE OF LIGHT, Moonrise Hernandez, New Mexico, for IMAGES, 1923-1974, and Aspens, Northern New Mexico, for THE CAMERA, The New Ansel Adams Photography Series / Book 1. Not since Adams achieved the peak of his celebrity have posters been widely available to the collectors, photographers, and art lovers who have persistently requested such work.” (Ansel Adams brochure, published by the New York Graphic Society, 1981.)

Printed in 1981-82, and measuring 25 ½ x 36 inches, these deluxe posters were the highest quality that could be produced at the time, both in image reproduction and presentation. Each image was printed using “offset lithography from state-of-the-art laser scanned duotone separations on fine, coated paper.” The images were then placed into an embossed area on handmade 100% rag paper, with a decorative deckled edge. The poster’s type is debossed printed letterpress, and each poster is additionally watermarked with Ansel’s “AA” and the printer's logo. All 350 limited edition deluxe posters were carefully inspected and approved by Ansel, before he numbered and signed each one.

We are thrilled to be able to offer a small quantity of these posters for purchase, with special limited-edition framing options that meet the highest museum-quality standards. Exquisitely produced and beautifully preserved, these limited edition deluxe posters will undoubtedly be a special addition to any collection.
