Fine Art Print: On the Strength of One Link (Herndon)
One the Strength of One Link (Herndon) (Originally 20”x24”)
The climactic end to Plebe Year is the Herndon climb. It is a marathon of grease-covered bodies wrestling to scale the heights of the 21-foot tall monument. The realities and interpersonal dynamics of midshipman life are clearly observable in this struggle.
Named after a stanza in the "Laws of the Navy":
On the strength of one link in the cable,
Dependeth the might of the chain.
Who knows when thou mayest be tested?
So live that thou bearest the strain!
This print is part of the exhibit at the USNA Museum titled, “A Midshipman’s Journey.” The exhibit features a curated selection of paintings that tell the story of the Naval Academy through moments, big and small.

About Fine Art Prints
Giclee prints are a form of art reproduction commonly used today for high-quality fine art prints. When taken care of (not placed in direct sunlight or in especially humid environments), they can last up to 200 years.
**** All prints are made to order and will be ready to ship in 3-8 business days***
Paper Prints
Perfect for building a gallery wall! Paper prints need to be framed.
Paper will be the selected size, and there will be a 1/8” white inner border to help with matting if desired. You can frame either to the size of the paper, or have your print matted for more presence.
Canvas Prints
All prints are giclee canvas print with a matte finish on rolled or stretched canvas.
Rolled canvas is great if you love the texture of an original painting. It needs to be framed (with or without glass!)
If you’d like to receive your print ready to hang, stretched canvas is the way to go! Stretched canvas can be framed in a floater style frame, but doesn’t have to be. Edges will be black and can be 3/4” or 1.5” deep (if you aren’t sure what to do, I’d recommend 1.5”. It adds a nice depth for any size canvas!).
Framing
Frames are not currently being sold in this shop, but rolled canvases can easily be framed by any ready-made or custom made frames. You can frame stretched canvas as well, but you don’t have to.
