Litho prints are produced using the traditional high speed lithographic printing process used to create high-quality books and posters. Each print is individually hand-signed and numbered by the artist in a specific limited edtition. When the prints are sold out, no more will be printed. Although litho reproductions are printed on acid free cover-weight paper stock, the inks are more subject to fading than giclee prints. Therefore, care should be taken to display them away from direct sunlight or intense flourescent lighting. All litho prints are in stock ready for immediate shipping. Framed prints include double matting and archival UV protective glass.
Story:
When Utah was being settled by the Mormon Pioneers, Brigham Young assigned a number of families to go to southern Utah to start a settlement there in what is now St. George, Utah. The area was called the "Cotton Mission" because the pioneers made an effort to grow cotton there. A factory was built in Washington, Utah to manufacture textiles from the cotton. Many people called it the "cotton Mill" because of a large waterwheel which powered the machinery. Later the wheel was upgraded to a turbine system. Once the railroad came through and the Civil War ended, the pioneers were able to obtain goods from the east, and the needto raise cotton decreased.
