Powderman Limited Edition Print by Bill Granstaff

This is a framed, limited edition lithographic print titled 'Powderman' by the artist Bill Granstaff, copyrighted in 1977. The artwork features a technical still-life of vintage blasting equipment, including a wooden DuPont blasting machine (plunger-style detonator), Atlas dynamite sticks, rolls of Clover Brand safety fuse, and various blasting caps and tools. The color palette is composed of realistic earth tones, muted reds, and blues on an off-white background. The piece is hand-signed by the artist in the lower center-left and numbered 804/1000. It is housed in a decorative, ornate gold-gilded frame featuring a repeating leaf and scroll pattern. The print appears to be in good condition with no visible foxing or water damage, though it is slightly recessed behind protective glass. Notable text includes 'COMMISSIONED BY BENNIE MOUSER, WEST KY. EXPLOSIVES, INC.' at the bottom right, indicating a specific regional or industrial provenance. The style is 20th-century realism, specifically intended for the collectibles market within mining or industrial history circles.
