Ansel Adams 'Driftwood' The Mural Project 1941-1942 Art Poster

This is a large-format landscape oriented art poster featuring the black and white photograph 'Driftwood' (1941) by renowned photographer Ansel Adams, part of his 'The Mural Project 1941-1942' commissioned by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The poster is printed on medium-weight heavy paper stock with a matte or semi-gloss finish. It features a large central image framed by wide white margins. At the bottom, text in an elegant serif font reads 'Ansel Adams', followed by 'The Mural Project 1941-1942' and the specific title 'Driftwood'. The photograph itself depicts a dramatic pile of driftwood in the foreground against a backdrop of a calm body of water and snow-capped mountains, showcasing Adams' mastery of the Zone System and high-contrast atmospheric light. The item appears to be in its original plastic shrink-wrap, which preserves its mint condition color and prevents edge wear. No foxing, yellowing, or creases are visible through the film. The printing quality is consistent with high-end museum-reproduction posters from the late 20th century, likely from the 1980s or 1990s, intended for educational or retail sale at galleries.
