The lot features a collection of 25 original, circa 1953, lithographs of Grand Canyon and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone by Carl Tolpo. The lot includes 25 new-old-stock originals directly from the artist. These lithographs were handed down by his son and were printed from the original in 1953 during Carl Tolpo’s lifetime. These lithographs are of the original work done from the perspective of the artist at Artist’s Point in the Yellowstone Grand Canyon. Carl Tolpo was born in Ludington, Michigan in 1901. During the course of his career, he established his reputation as a portrait, genre, and landscape painter, as well as a portrait and figure sculptor. As a painter, his works in fine oil portraiture particularly include state portraits and landscape oil paintings of the western USA, mostly the Yellowstone Park region. His works are on display in the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This lifetime lithograph depicts the Lower Falls and the Grand Canyon it carves out at Yellowstone National Park. An osprey can be seen flying over the falls in the sky. Ospreys were often depicted in Tolpo’s work as he was an avid fisherman. The painting was done from “Tolpo Point”, which was later officially named in his honor in 1953 and is where he painted his colossal work of the Canyon, which is on loan to and displayed at YNP. Each print measures 25.5”x35”. The prints are loose in new-old-stock, well-preserved condition. They were removed from the original wrappings for the first time since Tolpo ordered them back in the 1950’s to be brought to you on this rare occasion. These prints have regularly sold for as much as $300 a piece, which would value this lot at $7,500. These are truly a wonderful piece of Yellowstone history and would be a fantastic gallery, antique store, tourist store, or collector addition. The piece is marked in the artwork, "Carl Tolpo Yel Gr Canyon T. Pt. July th Aug 1953 (copyright)" and under the artwork, "Grand Canyon and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone by Carl Tolpo Contemporary American Artist."
