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:
This painting appeared on the front cover of "Pioneer Magazine" Winter 2007-08 and Cover 3 of the LDS "Ensign Magazine" conference issue October 2003. The St. George Mormon Temple was completed by early Mormon pioneers over a 5 1/2 year period. Dedicated on April 6, 1877, it stands today as a monument to the tenacity and faithfulness of the pioneers who settled St. George. Over a million feet of lumber was used in constructing the building. Much of it was hand-hewn, then hauled from Mt. Trumbull, 80 miles away, or from Pine Valley Mountains, a distance of 37 miles north of St. George. The walls were laid up of hand-hewn sandstone blocks, and plastered a bright white, contrasting with the rich reds of the cliffs surrounding the town. A visitors center on-site provides information on the purposes of LDS temples, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and Mormon pioneer life to thousands of tourists who visit annually from all over the world.
