Grand Canyon National Park: Desert View Watchtower
2017 By Derek Anderson, Joel Anderson
About the Art
"The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison—beyond description; absolutely
unparalleled through-out the wide world... Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is.” Those
were the words of President Theodore Roosevelt when he visited the Grand Canyon in 1903. The
canyon was designated a National Park in 1919, officially protecting the gorge and the lands around it
for future generations to come. This Anderson Design Group National Parks poster shows some of that
history with a depiction of the old Desert View Watchtower, a stone, 70 ft. tall structure that offers
unparalleled views of the canyon. An original ADG Store design, the vintage poster inspires nostalgia
for the early-1900s, the period when most of the National Parks were created. To learn more about the
Grand Canyon, visit the Grand Canyon Conservancy.
