The Trust has for sale a series of three limited edition prints
created by artist Stefan Martin exclusively for the Trust in 1984,
ten years prior to his death. Each engraving highlights an object
of the Trust's preservation efforts. The first is of the "Peregrine
Falcon," representative of those species of wildlife which
are threatened yet can be restored through stewardship. The second
engraving, "Morning Stream," typifies a northern New
Jersey stream habitat and symbolizes the New Jersey Natural Lands
Trust as a vital force in the pursuit of habitat preservation.
The third engraving, "Gentian," features a grouping
of three delicate, beautiful and rare Pine Barrens gentians, one
of a number of wildflower species that are vanishing due to loss
and neglect of habitat. It is the Trust's resolve to preserve
habitat for Pine Barrens gentian and other imperiled species.
Artist Stefan Martin earned worldwide recognition for his mastery
of the exacting art of end-grain wood engraving. His much admired
prints and incised paintings are in private collections and museums
around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Smithsonian Institution, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the
Chicago Art Institute, among many others. The artist lived and
worked in Roosevelt, New Jersey.
We are selling the unframed prints for $150 each, or $400 for
all three. Remaining as of this writing are 203 "Peregrine
Falcon," 131 "Morning Stream" and 20 "Gentian"
prints.
