From the Harford County Chamber of Commerce:
Harford County Chamber of Commerce proudly unveiled the long awaited limited edition print by renowned artist and local resident Jim Butcher at their November Membership Luncheon on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at the Bayou Restaurant in Havre de Grace, MD.
The exquisite print features over 40 iconic locations from around Harford County, selected by a Harford County Print Advisory Committee. “We were so lucky to have such a great group from around the community come together to give their input and select important landmarks around our county,” said Paige Boyle, chair-elect and co-chair of the Art Project Committee. A few of the featured locations include Falling Branch, Ladew Topiary Gardens, Ripken Stadium and, of course, our Chamber headquarters located in downtown Bel Air. Only 400 copies of this limited edition print were produced and are available for purchase. Unframed prints are available for purchase for $75. The original print will be auctioned off at the Chamber’s 40th Anniversary celebration/Annual Dinner on February 18th 2016.
The Bayou Restaurant was buzzing with excitement that only grew after the unveiling of the original artwork. Jim Butcher, whom then spoke to the luncheon attendees about the artwork and the various locations depicted, also included a key identifying all the landmarks with a brief description . Framed and unframed prints were available for immediate purchase at the luncheon to those in attendance.
I can remember when they sold those posters in Bel Air with caricatures of businesses on a County map. I don’t remember people breaking the doors down then to get them and proably the same fore this.
I wish they’d show a close-up of the actual work.
Go to The Harford County Chamber of Commerce web site. it’s on there. Several landmarks, some I don’t know and one Hydroelectric Dam from Cecil County
Actually the dam joins Harford and Cecil so is a legitimate HC landmark, or at least half of it is. One landmark on there is presently obscured by trees from the road, so only people over 50 would likely remember it.
