Sleeping Hanging Bats "Wonderful Flying Foxes" Antique Illustration Giclee Print on Vintage Paper Maroon Matted 5 x 7 Ready To Frame!

Sleeping Hanging Bats "Wonderful Flying Foxes" Antique Illustration Giclee Print on Vintage Paper Maroon Matted 5 x 7 Ready To Frame! | For Art's Sake-1 | Scoop.it

A colony or cloud of bats hangs upside down in this illustrated gravure print from 1887 entitled "Wonderful Flying Foxes."

We've lovingly scanned the antique illustration and reproduced it for you as a giclee print -- on vintage paper, to keep the feel of the original.

What's more, it is already matted and ready to insert inside any 5 by 7 inch fame.

The matting is in a rich maroon or burgundy shade in a matte finish, which really compliments the tanned old paper.

Published in 1844, the Atlas de Zoologie: ou collection de 100 planches contains illustrations of a number of creatures, some of which no longer walk this planet. Among those are thylacines — striped, carnivorous marsupials that went extinct when the last known specimen died in a Tasmanian zoo in 1936.

Pin Ups | For Art's Sake-1 | Scoop.it

[F]rom the 1920s to the 1970s, certain artists—including Alberto Vargas, George Petty, Gil Elvgren, Earl Moran, and Zoë Mozert—made their careers painting “pin-up” girls exclusively. This Golden Age of the pin-up art lasted until color photography took its place.
