Thomas Moran (1837-1926) is a noted landscape painter of the American West. This chromolithograph is one of a limited edition of 2,500 that were made from a Moran painting of Grand Canyon. The Washington Office collection contains artwork for display in National Park Service and Departmental offices. The pieces in the collection remind visitors and staff of the National Park Service mandate to preserve cultural and natural resources for future generations.
The Museum Management Program website at http://www.nps.gov/museum/ contains park exhibits, publications, lesson plans for teaching with museum collections, and a Web Catalog of NPS museum collections.
