Winter Shadows Collection -- "Canyon Moon" by artist Persis Clation Weirs. First issue in the series. Bradford Exchange 1994. Plate size approx 8.8 by 6.5 oval shaped. Suggested Retail $60.00
Three timber wolves pause on a snow-covered cliff at the edge of a wilderness canyon. Lifting their muzzles to the misty moon above them, they give forth the eerie howls that have both frightened and fascinated humans for ages.
And though the mesmerized listener might liken the sound to the distant wailing of souls, today we know that howling is simply the way wolves communicate with their family pack.
Early in their history, wolves learned it was wiser to hunt cooperatively. Scattering, rejoining, attacking in groups, communicating with their far-reaching howls, they conduct maneuvers that any general might envy.
Alas, man, who at one time regarded the wolf as his teacher in the art of hunting, became a farmer and keeper of his own herds. The wolf then became man's competitor and has struggled to survive ever since. This it does, in part, by being secretive and sly.
In "Canyon Moon," a collector's plate as beautiful and mysterious as the wolf itself, Nancy Glazier takes you to the heart of the wolf's secret world at the moment when the hunt begins.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
