Mather Point Grand Canyon Wall Art | Vintage Arizona Print

Mather Point is where most people meet the Grand Canyon for the first time, a shelf of red rock on the South Rim with the whole chasm opening past it. This vintage poster keeps the warm sandstone ledges and their scrub junipers close in the foreground, then lets the buttes fall away into cool blue distance.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: foreground rock built in warm salmon and rust bands, the far walls flattened into layers of dusty teal and violet, and juniper worked in small dark clumps.
• It names the exact place. Mather Point on the South Rim, Arizona, with the park date and the coordinates 36.06 N, 112.14 W set along the bottom edge.
• Mather Point is named for Stephen Mather, the first director of the National Park Service, and looks across a canyon roughly a mile deep and ten miles wide at this stretch.
• Terracotta, rust and hazy teal over a cream border make a warm palette for a living room, a dining room or a den.
• Drawn in the same style as the rest of the 63-park series, so several hang together as one set.

Styling it at home

This is one of the warmest prints in the series, so it does the most work in a room that is otherwise neutral, above a leather chair or a plain sofa in oatmeal or grey. The rust tones sit well with cognac leather, brass and dark walnut, and the teal haze keeps it from going too orange. Espresso or natural wood frames suit it better than white. Hang it with Arches, Canyonlands or Zion for a full desert Southwest wall.

Shipping and care

Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang with hardware fitted. Keep the print out of direct sunlight and wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth.

FAQ

How is this different from the other Grand Canyon National Park prints in the shop? This is the Mather Point view, with the location and coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other Grand Canyon National Park designs show different views in mid-century, oil painting and watercolour styles.

Is a frame included with the paper print? No. Paper prints ship unframed; the framed options are the framed canvas materials.
