Welcome to Quail Hollow Gallery. From paintings done by famous artists of people and life in early America, I make distinctive ready-to-frame prints that --- in the Currier & Ives style --- show the title of the painting and the artist’s name. All prints are 18x24 inches and thus fit frames that can be readily found at many retail outlets. My prints feature iconic images of America’s past, including explorers and the Old West, trappers and pioneers, life in early America, as well as majestic landscapes and historic events and people. You can click on my shop name to browse all the prints available or select a particular category of prints to view. This print features a photograph taken of a war-worn Abraham Lincoln on February 5, 1865. In the photo, the president sits comfortably in a sturdy chair, his left elbow resting on its arm. There is nothing in this photograph to indicate Lincoln’s exalted position: we might just as well be looking at a humble country doctor. By this point in his public life, the president had sat for dozens of photographs, and he would have been mindful of the need to hold perfectly still during the several minutes it took to make an exposure. In this print, Lincoln’s eyes look steadily toward the camera but his hands fiddle impatiently with his eyeglasses and pencil as if to remind the photographer that he had more important things to do. One of Quail Hollow’s distinctive prints, matched with your frame, will enhance any home or office decor and is something you will be proud to frame and display or to give as a gift.

Studying history helps us understand and grapple with complex questions and dilemmas of the present. By examining the past, we get a better understanding of what shaped (and continues to shape) global, national, and local relationships between societies and people.
When we see old black and white photos we sometimes forget the actual moments were experienced the same way we do today.

For more than three decades, Shelby Lee Adams has photographed families living the Appalachian hollers of Kentucky. Adams sees himself as a documentarian and observing participant in the communities he works in, developing close friendships with his subjects and allowing them to shape his photographic practice.
