Description from the seller
Dick Bruna: “Miffy and Giraffes”.
At the bottom, in the margin, the name of the artist, the title of the work, and copyright are written in small letters.
The work is in excellent condition.
Never been framed and stored in a dark archive storage between protective acid-free paper. The photos shown are part of the description; the frame (size) displayed is for illustration purposes and is not included.
This artwork is carefully and securely packed and shipped in protective acid-free paper.
Miffy was created by the Dutch graphic artist Dick Bruna, who was born in 1927—the year of the rabbit according to the Japanese zodiac.
In 1955, during a rainy seaside vacation in the Netherlands, Dick Bruna amused his young son by sketching a tame rabbit that hopped around the garden of their holiday home. At bedtime he invented stories about the little rabbit, and thus the character Miffy (Nijntje in the original Dutch) was born.
The Miffy stories have now been published in more than 50 languages and more than 85 million copies have been sold. Miffy has her own TV series - Miffy and Friends - and toys and merchandise are sold on five continents.
Dick Bruna, now in his eighties, still lives in Utrecht. He has published 124 picture books to date (of which 30 are about Miffy) and is one of the most borrowed authors in Dutch libraries. Bruna has, over the years, illustrated more than 2,000 book covers and more than 100 posters for the family publishing house A.W. Bruna & Zoon.
