Description:

THOMAS MORAN (AMERICAN 1837-1926) A CHROMOLITHOGRAPH, "Grand Canyon of Arizona from Hermit Rim Road," a fine oversized first edition chromolithograph in bright colors, artist's printed signature "TMORAN, 1912." lower left in image, center below image "Grand Canyon of... Thomas Moran N.A.," lower left below image "Copyright. 1913, By The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway System," opposite lower right (printed by) "American Lithographic Co, N.Y.," published by Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway System, 1913, image: 26 3/8" x 35", including blank margins 38" x 46". Note: Thomas Moran is considered to be one of the foremost artist of the American Southwest and the present day prices for his paintings reflect this respect. His oeuvre included several works of the Grand Canyon and the original 1912 painting which this print is drawn from is currently in the offices of the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railway Co Art Collection. This was his last work reproduced in chromolithography and was one of 2,500 printed. Many did not survive to today as they were placed unprotected in railway stations and others were given away as promotional gifts. The remaining ones were retained by the company until 1996 when they were placed with a Santa Fe New Mexico gallery where they  were each offered for $4,800.   Provenance: Property from a Corporate Collection, Houston, Texas.
