The Close Encounter Series--Poster #1 This thumbnail does not do this first poster in the series justice! Its 17" X 21" size is perfect for home or office. The six color process was used on heavy paper. The photo on the top 2/3 of the poster was taken in Florida at the very moment lightning struck, illuminating it magnificently. The funnel on the lower portion of the poster is of more historic interest, as it is the first known photograph taken of a tornado. The quote between them is from John Park Finley, an early pioneer in tornado research. In 1887, he said as follows: "A single experience of this awful convulsion of the elements suffices to fasten the memory of its occurrence upon the mind with such a dreadful force that no effort can efface the remembrance of it. The destructive violence of this storm exceeds in its power, fierceness, and grandeur all other phenomena of the atmosphere." The catalog identification code is CP1.
