About This Item
1963. Print. New. Maurice Sendak. Lithograph print by Maurice Sendak on Acid-free Paper. PRINT. Size: 20" x 6" (510mm x 165mm). A beautiful large full colour print of this classic image. Written and illustrated in 1963 by Maurice Sendak, 'Where The Wild Things Are' is one of the most popular picture books ever published. The book has been adapted into an animated short, an Opera, and a motion picture, and the picture book itself is still in print over 50 years after it's initial publication. This gorgeous print was published in 1971 as an edition specially re-photographed from the original artwork held at the Sendak Archives at the Rosenbach Museum & Library. The result is this fabulous collector's edition panoramic print presenting Sendak's entire painting, as opposed to having to see it printed with the gutter of the book in the centre of the image. Copyright 1963 printed on reverse.

BEST. BOOK. EVER. I have given a copy to every child in my life (family & friends). The imagination given wings and the safety net of a parent's love. Beautifully naughty, captures the joy of childhood and possibilities.
