Big tree posters, 100cm tall
Our best value Pacific Northwest poster deal! You’ll receive our Leaning Veteran (Douglas Fir 100cm x 34.5cm), Coastal Giant (Sitka Spruce 100cm x 29cm) and our Volcanic Pioneer (Noble Fir 100cm x 25cm) posters shipped to you in one tube.
The Volcanic Pioneer embodies that ultimate feeling of power in the American Landscape. Located on the side of Mt. St. Helens in Washington state the location of this tree reflects not one but two powers of nature. The stunning example of a Noble Fir stands 80 metres tall while its understory is akin to an open parkland of towering trunks.
We fell in love with the Coastal Giant the very second we saw it from across the ravine. Standing 80m tall and absolutely draped in epiphytic life it was the hardest of missions and required an extended stay to capture this very unique tree. Located just a mile from the wild Pacific Coast in Oregon it would alternate between sharp contrasty daylight and drenching rain. We were mentally and physically beaten by the conditions and this is the only tree that we considered giving up on. We didn’t.
The Leaning Veteran is the tree that really started the long journey to photograph some of the American giants. Deep in the Siuslaw Mountains, it sits on a perfect aspect for plenty of rain and optimal sunlight. With easy access, it was a pleasure to camp with and even more of a pleasure to climb and photograph. Its features were dramatic with a snapped crown with a hollow housing a vole nest and a branch now growing vertically to continue the growth upwards. A classic Doug Fir reiteration, a new stem that begins growing from a lateral branch, is starting to dominate the lower half of the tree.

After learning that yet another pristine old growth forest was going to be logged by Sustainable Timber Tasmania Tasmanian big tree hunters Jan Corigliano and Carl Hansen decided to take a look.
It was a cold and wet Saturday in August, never the less they persisted. Soaked to the bone and with raindrops covering the lens of their laser rangefinder they were prevented from getting any accurate readings. Their initial enthusiasm for the tree was tampered but the news quickly spread.
Months later in November, a second visit by big tree climbers Shaun Green and Jack O’hare set about to climb and measure the volume of the tree. From their maximum highpoint for the day of 65m they began to measure the stem at regular intervals all the way to ground level.
Later that evening far past any reasonable hour the phone rang, Jack had finalised and just triple-checked the results. His calculations revealed the world had a new champion blue gum at 325 cubic metres in volume.
Sadly the previous champion Strong Girl had been killed in the 2019 bushfires along with another 15 of Australia’s top 25 trees. Finding Lathamus Keep reestablished the entire species as worthy contenders for giant tree protection.
Our journey to bring the tree to you has taken more than a year and we are so happy to share it and its story with you.

Deborah Lambkin was born in Ireland and trained at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin graduating in 1991. Deborah’s skill as a botanical artist has been widely recognised throughout her career and in 2020 she received the Margaret Flockton Award 1st Prize from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, for her illustration of a new species; Gastrodia agnicellus. In 2021 she received the Jill Smythies Award for excellence in scientific botanical illustration by the Linnean Society of London.
In 2005 Deborah was appointed as the Official Orchid Artist to the RHS Orchid Committee and has painted well over 500 orchids for the RHS. That work is held in the RHS Lindley Library which has a collection of over 7,000 botanical drawings and paintings of orchids. Deborah adds to this collection at a rate of about 30 paintings a year.
Lathamus Keep is the world champion blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus). It’s not just a Tree Portrait but also an icon of what we are still losing here in Tasmania. Our campaign to save this tree from logging has led us and the Tasmanian big tree community into an empowering space. Together we discovered this area holds 76 trees over 4m in diameter and since our successful campaign to update the Giant Tree Policy all of these trees are now officially protected.

How to photograph a giant.
67 days of waiting, watching and wondering if it would actually happen. This is still one of the best projects we’ve done. Our Gandalf’s Staff tree portrait was an epic battle of willpower over the weather.
As you can see in the video our camera system spans a 60m gap between two giant trees. Then a secondary pulley system lets us raise and lower the camera array the entire vertical height of the tree. Placing this system in the exact location then required a third line to redirect the placement just 1.5 meters uphill. All up it took us 2 weeks to get just the camera system to drop down out of the sky and sit perfectly in the exact location we needed it to.
Then we waited for the perfect wind, fog and sunrise conditions to create something truly exceptional.
100cm x 30cm Lathamus Keep is the world champion blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) poster. This is our biggest tree portrait ever. This tree has been a very big part of our lives for so long now. It’s not just a Tree Portrait but also an icon of what we are still losing here in Tasmania. Our campaign to save this tree from logging has led us and the Tasmanian big tree community into an empowering space. Together we discovered this area holds 76 trees 15 metres in girth and an additional 10 trees that qualify for protection.
After learning that yet another pristine old growth forest was going to be logged by Sustainable Timber Tasmania Tasmanian big tree hunters Jan Corigliano and Carl Hansen decided to take a look.

The material
Intended to be our most affordable option it is a quality CMYK 4 colour process on 200gsm satin paper. If you are thinking about investing in a frame for the poster we do recommend spending that bit more on a Canson Platine cotton fiber print.
