The Domes of Yosemite. A Perfect Recreation™ of the lithograph with original hand color. By Albert Bierstadt. Circa 1870. Specially framed as shown: 39" x 27 ½"
Bring home the Bierstadt masterpiece of the conservationist's iconic landscape. Rediscover why Yosemite was the first scenic land ever set aside by a federal government for the enjoyment of the people. The historically accurate, handcrafted frame has been selected and created by Ædicule to enhance the vibrant colors and intricate details of this dramatic painting. The soft, dusty black shows the aging that would accompany a nineteenth century work. The simple flat panel represents framemaking prevalent in that time and place, while the gold edge casts theatrical light onto our Perfect Recreation™ of one of the first views of this wonder of the West. 100% of the Auction sales price goes directly to The Trust for Public Land.The Trust for Public Land is a national nonprofit land conservation organization that conserves land for people to enjoy as parks, gardens, and natural areas, ensuring livable communities for generations to come.
