Peter Dombrovskis - Douglas Gorge
$98.00
Douglas Gorge in the Douglas-Apsley National Park
The 1980's will stand out as a decade of controversy. While most attention was focused on Tasmania’s western wilderness - the Franklin and Gordon Rivers and their tributaries, and areas such as the Lemonthyme, a quieter campaign achieved the preservation of a different but extraordinary beauty in the east of the state.
The Douglas-Apsley National Park was proclaimed in 1989 and encompasses two ecologically intact dry eucalypt forest catchments in Tasmania. Over half of the state’s eucalypt species and more than 65 bird species are found in the park, as well as many mammals and reptiles.
Flowing south and east around the dolerite outcrop of Nicholls Needle, the Douglas River features rainforest gullies, waterfalls and clear pools, such as this tranquil and unfrequented haven.
Pigment ink print on archival Canson Platine fibre rag paper, 100% cotton.
The images by Peter Dombrovskis have been through an exhaustive remastering process. The high resolution scans from the National Library have been painstakingly retouched to remove embedded dust and scratches. To ensure accurate colour rendition, they have been referenced against publications that Peter was proud of and the prints have been checked and approved by Liz Dombrovskis. The images are printed with pigment ink on Canson Platine Fibre Rag, a 100% cotton rag archival paper. These prints will last over 100 years and are amongst the most archival processes currently available. Remastered by fine art printer, Simon Olding, exclusively for Wild Island Tasmania.
