Rabbit Watches Man Haystack,Peter Newell Antique Print:
$18.95

This print is from scarce book that is over100 years old. It is a lovely color plate, with a blank back and a tissue overlay.

The artist is Peter Newell, a famous Victorian era illustrator. It depicts a man charging into a haystack, as a wide-eyed rabbit watches. Not sure why the man is doing this, but it certainly is a cute picture.The caption (written in faint blue-gray in the margin) reads: \"This brought my speed down t ten minutes to the mile whcich made it safe for me to run into a haystack.\"

This particular chromolith is of exceptional quality because it used EIGHT colors, which gives it a feeling of remarkable depth. The paper is heavy and toned cream with age. It has a blank back, meaning it was printed separately from the text for better quality and then tipped in or sewn into the book when it was bound. It would look charming framed —especially as decoration in a child’s room!!.

Note that the page size is approx. 5x7.25 inches and the actual image size (without margins) is approx. 3.5x4.9 inches (approx. 9x12.5 cm). The lower right margin has a caption that can be included or covered when framed.

This is NOT a recent copy or modern reproduction, but a GENUINE vintage item over105 years old.

All prints are delivered in an archival sleeve and packed flat with heavy cardboard (or rolled in a sturdy box). I stand behind my products and offer a FULL REFUND if you think the product does not match the description in any way.

I will combine shipping on multiple purchases (charging only the single highest shipping cost).
