Petrified Forest National Park: Windswept Wonders By Arden von Haeger, Joel Anderson, 2024
- Petrified Forest National Park: Windswept Wonders
What better way to explore ancient history than to examine trees so old they’ve been turned into stone? Anderson Design Group’s artist collaborator, Arden von Haeger, handcrafted a vintage travel poster of Petrified Forest National Park, styling the poster with influences from the mid-20th-century WPA-commissioned artwork that promoted the parks. Arden's hand-rendered illustration style conveys grandeur, romance, and nuance. In his own words describing what inspired him about this particular park, Arden said, “The Petrified Forest is a national park in northeastern Arizona renowned for its extensive deposits of petrified wood dating back over 200 million years. Featuring the colorful landscapes of the Painted Desert, the park offers a unique glimpse into ancient ecosystems through its well-preserved fossils.” This national park poster and vintage national park art is perfect for home or office decor. It also serves as an excellent national park gift for the enthusiast in your family. As an original national park illustration, this design will look great as an unframed print, framed poster, notecard, postcard, metal sign, canvas, or mini canvas. This hand-rendered nature illustration is fashioned in the style of vintage poster art and the iconic 20th-century travel art that first promoted the national parks in the 19th and 20th centuries.
