Mt. Monadnock, in the southwest corner of New Hampshire, is the only high mountain for miles around. At the summit a spectacular view of much of New England including the White Mountains awaits the hiker. Monadnock is the most-climbed mountain in the United States. Thoreau's seat, a rock that served as a resting place for Henry David Thoreau, can be found on one of the paths near the top. The engraved woodblock is 6.34" x 4".

Mt. Monadnock
When you purchase Mt. Monadnock by Randy Miller, you are acquiring an original work of art, engraved by hand in wood and printed by the artist. It is not a photographic or digital reproduction.
A note about Editions: The prints are not strictly limited in number. This is due to the durability of boxwood, my choice of wood for engraving. It is an extremely dense hardwood capable of yielding thousands of prints with no noticeable deterioration. I therefore number my prints in Editions of 200, succeeding editions denoted by a Roman numeral “II”, “III” and so on. This allows for continued functional use of an increasingly scarce wood.
The artist uses black, oil-based ink on smooth, Welsh cream-colored paper called basingwerk. The print is signed, titled and numbered in pencil by the artist and enclosed in a clear plastic sleeve. The print is suitable for matting and framing. Shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
