A beloved quote by John Muir, letterpress printed with historic wood type on Colorado topo maps.

We love living in mountains, and to honor the beauty of Colorado's mountain landscapes we decided to create a poster with one of our favorite quotes by American naturalist John Muir: "Going to the mountains is going home." He wrote that in 1875, and it's still true today.

Each poster (about 10" x 14") is letterpress printed with large wood type from our collection, in transparent green ink, on official topographical map sections that feature the Colorado mountains. Each page is unique, with a different bird's-eye-view of mountain sections from the Rockies to the San Juans. (See below for more info on what areas each poster covers.)
