This original fine liner drawing has double the fun with 24ct gold leaf silk screen printed onto it. Created to celebrate the success of conservation projects that have brought the whooping crane back from the brink of extinction, this piece is bound to bring joy. The drawing paired with it's gold counterpart symbolises the species recovery.
Whooping cranes nearly vanished in the mid-20th century, with a 1941 count finding only 16 living birds. Since then, these majestic birds have taken a step back from the brink of extinction. Captive breeding programs have boosted their numbers, and successful reintroduction efforts have raised the number of wild birds to an estimated 660 in 2021 - this is testament to the progress that is made possible by the Endangered Species Act.
One of a kind, hand drawn and silk screen printed by Sophie in London using 24ct gold leaf. Each artwork is signed and has a certificate of authenticity.
Size A3.
Beautiful as a stand alone piece or as part of a set!
