All images and content copyright Archival Prints LLC and Skip Gleichman.
“Ancient White Pine, Black River #1” is offered as a custom fine art color photographic print, signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.

I captured this image in 4×5 transparency sheet film with an Ebony view camera and Rodenstock Sironar S 135mm lens near the Black River in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This image was of an ancient silvery White Pine, with deeply creviced bark among many within a small true virgin old growth forest that I stumbled upon.

This “Tree Portrait” is one of several captured in a small, unlisted old growth White Pine Forest in the Upper Peninsula. I discovered this area while in search of cascades for my black and white intimate landscapes. A steep climb up and embankment led into what seemed to be a completely untouched grove of ancient White Pine and Hemlocks. These White Pines in particular were the largest, and likely the oldest I have found in the UP. The ground was as soft as a mattress with little undergrowth due to the permanent shade from the dense conifer canopy, all signs of true old growth. This area revealed many willing and patient subjects for my old growth tree portrait collection.

This limited Edition Print will be Signed and Numbered. Pricing includes the print only with a white border and includes free shipping unless otherwise noted. This Print Requires Framing (see detailed info below).

Description

“Ancient White Pine, Black River #1” is offered as a limited edition, fine art Color photographic print. I captured this subject in Fuji RDP 4×5 transparency film with an Ebony 4×5 view camera and Rodenstock Sironar S 135mm lens near the Black River in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

There is also a Black and White version of this image available in the Black and White Intimate Landscapes collection. The drum scan of the 4×5 transparency assures print sizes to 40 x 50 are critically sharp at extremely close viewing distances. All images are as I saw them and imaged with only color, brightness, shadow and contrast & local light and shadow adjustments, just as I did in the darkroom. 

This is a museum quality fine art print in Color.  Included in Your Print Purchase:

  • Pricing includes the print only, shipped flat to 16 x 20 or rolled in a tube mailer for larger sizes.

Framing, Presentation and Preservation:

  • All prints will require a frame, glass and backing material that matches print size. (Frames usually come 1/8” oversized to accommodate the glass, print and backing, please verify.)
  • Borderless Framing (meaning no cut matboard): All prints include a white border containing the number and signature.
  • Again, the white borders of the print assure that a cut mat board is not required for framing an Archival Print.
  • Acid Free white foamcore is a good choice for backing in .25” thickness. An Acid Free matboard is optional between the backer board and the print.
  • Glass Options (“the Glazing”): Classic AR Glass, Museum Glass or other UV glass or a UV Acrylic as the “Glazing” (again meaning Glass) is highly recommended for UV protection and to protect the print. Classic AR Glass and Museum Glass are Anti-Reflective which greatly enhances viewing the print.
  • No spray or coating is required or recommended on any of our prints, please refrain from any such treatment.

Other Framing Options: We can help with the framing in several molding styles and glazing options or steer you in the right direction for the perfect framing materials that assure archival print endurance.Click to Read About Our Preferred Method of “Borderless” Archival Framing in this PDFAll prints include shipping costs and are printed in archival inks on the finest quality photo rag papers.
