Limited Edition plate. Walt Kelly's last major piece of artwork, this was done for a series of cartoon prints published by Abrams in 1976. Kelly died before he could ink the artwork, which is done in black and colored pencils. Originally it was not going to be included in the series for that reason, but it was decided that the art was too good to be forgotten. (One of these plates hangs on our office wall and we think it looks better this way than if it had been inked.) Series limited to 100, this is #95, signed by Selby as "Mrs. Walt Kelly." Due to the size of the plate, this image is from the original advertisement. If you would like a scan of a portion of the actual plate, please drop us a note. Unframed, shipped flat or rolled in an indestructible tube, as you prefer. $400
