It was an extremely difficult project with multiple delays, changes and re-printings. The printed image was intended to be almost indistinguishable from an original photograph and was printed on a heavy stock of paper. It was then dry mounted and embossed onto a special handmade paper, similar to thick drawing paper. The paper features a custom AA watermark and has deckled edges. Ansel Adams then approved, signed and numbered each print. Later another set of three images was printed, but Mr. Adams died before he could sign any of them.
