It's safe to say that the ABCs of Kentucky will have a somewhat limited appeal. That's not to say that those who aren't from Kentucky won't be able to appreciate Robert Bridges' unique alphabet. It's hard not to like what he has done, turning the alphabet into a canvas and filling it with symbols of Kentucky.
However, those who weren't born or who didn't grow up in Kentucky probably won't be able to appreciate the ABCs of Kentucky like a native Kentuckian. From Ali to Abraham Lincoln, all of Kentucky's top stars are represented here. The print is part of 'Kentucky for Kentucky,' a project dedicated to promoting Kentucky via artwork and fashion. Only 500 prints of the ABCs of Kentucky are available, and each one is selling for $30.00.
