Description: This rare silk-screen print features the Horned Grebe, a beautiful bird native to North America. The scene depicts an adult sitting on the nest near the water with a juvenile and an egg, three small fish, and a dragonfly above. The colours are exceptional! Created by artist Charley Harper in 1959 for the Ford Times. This limited addition print was originally produced in 1959 for the Ford Times magazine, from the series, American Bird Architects. In Mr Harper's early career with the Ford Times, he began silk-screening his prints by hand to meet the demand of the readers who were fans of his art. In addition to its stunning design, this print is also signed by Harper himself, lower right hand corner, adding to its value and rarity. This print is an original production, not a licensed reprint. It measures framed, 26 inches in length and 20 inches in height and comes matted and framed, ready to be displayed and admired. This piece is a fine example of Charley Harper's artwork and a true gem for any nature lover or mid-century modern enthusiast. *Please excuse the reflection from the glass in photos.
