This is a Signed Limited edition print.

I'm very pleased with the re-creation of the colours which seem to be faithful to the original. These include the shade of green produced by laying a think layer of blue ink over an earlier layer of yellow and the dot patterns which represent the lake and the sand.

The print has a 70th anniversary stamp on the back, to mark the fact that it was produced for the comic's birthday. The print in the photograph is framed so that it is raised from the background, so you can see the slightly rough edges of the handmade paper. Bringing it forward, instead of putting it behind a matting board, makes the print throw a slight shadow, giving it a three-dimensional feel. Screenprint on handmade, acid-free Somerset paper.
