For the name of your nearest retailer, contact customer service at  serviceclient@image-republic.com For the centenary of the mythical New York Public Library, at the corner of 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, Eric Drooker pays a singular tribute to it on the cover of the New Yorker on May 23rd 2011, and in particular to the lions that adorn its entrance. Drooker imagines them roaring in a future where nature will have regained its rights. In the 1930s, these two sculptures by Edward Clark Potter were renamed Patience and Courage (Fortitude), to pay tribute to the efforts made by New Yorkers after the Great Depression. Framed, this illustration will look wonderful in a an entrance hall, a living room or a bedroom.  This print is available in several formats. The 30x40 and 40x50 illustrations come already mounted (The dimensions include the drawing and the mount board from Canson®). The XXL 56x76 cm illustration: Because of its size, the quality of the printing and the art paper that is being used, this art print renders more vividly the artist’s emotion. Each illustration is printed to order with the greatest attention to details and respect to its original artwork. Colours are rich and lines are pure. For this particular size, Image Republic has chosen the high quality 250 gr art velum from Velin d’Arche® which is normally used for lithographs. The raw edge of the velum sheet brings the print a beautiful and elegant finish. Each print is certificated and wrapped in silk paper before being rolled up in a tube for delivery.  All of our prints are ready to frame (30x40 cm , 40x50cm and 60x80 cm frames). Read less
