A print from the portfolio "Pictures by Maurice Sendak" published by Harper & Row in 1971, in a limited edition of 500 sets.
A color illustration from Charlotte Zolotov and Maurice Sendak's 1962 picture book, Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present. A Caldecott Medal Honor Book for 1963.
Following years of requests to create a series of Fine Art quality prints for framing and hanging on the wall (without having to mutilate any published books), Mr. Sendak agreed to select his favorite images that could be enjoyed as art without being directly connected to printed texts.
For this purpose, the original artwork then housed at the Sendak Archives at the Rosenbach Museum & Library (Philadelphia) were re-photographed for precise reproduction. Each of the images is perfectly reproduced and for the very first time these images were now viewed on single sheets of paper (without any center crease or division).
The print is in pristine condition with wide margins as issued.
