ALSO INCLUDED IS A COPY OF THE SOMERSET HOUSE PUBLISHING CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.

PART OF THE SOMERSET HOUSE SERIES OF LIMITED EDITION CHARLES FRACE WILDLIFE PRINTS-- MANY OTHERS OF WHICH WE ALSO CARRY, AS WELL AS OTHER WILDLIFE, NAUTICAL AND WESTERN LIMITED EDITION PRINTS. Purchased new from the distributor in 1994, at wholesale along with several others, never framed or displayed and stored in our darkened warehouse since, the print is still in PRISTINE MINT condition, with Bright, Lustrous, completely UN-faded colors. NOTE: PLEASE EXCUSE THE SLIGHT GLARE IN THE UPPER LEFT OF THE PHOTOS FROM THE LIGHTING. THE PRINT IS STILL IN PRISTINE MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY A TINY CORNER DING IN THE UPPER LEFT (WHICH WOULD BE HIDDEN BY ANY FRAME, EVEN WITHOUT MATTING) KEEPING IT FROM BEING IN PERFECT CONDITION. OUR PRINTS, WHILE MAYBE PRICED A BIT HIGHER, HAVE NEVER BEEN FRAMED OR EXPOSED TO LIGHT, HAVING BEEN STORED IN OUR DARKENED WAREHOUSE THE ENTIRE TIME-- NEARLY THREE (3) DECADES-- SO, UNLIKE PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS, OURS ARE PRISTINE NEW, NEVER FRAMED OR DISPLAYED, VERY NEARLY PRISTINE MINT CONDITION, ON ITS ORIGINAL CREAMY WHITE COLORED PAPER, AND WITH TOTALLY UN-FADED COLORS !
