Humpback Whale in Pink & Red Flowers on Silver Mid-century dress Materials: Nepalese paper and cottonBased on a 1903 illustration of the Hump Backed Whale (Megaptera boops) from British mammals; an attempt to describe and illustrate the mammalian fauna of the British islands from the commencement of the Pleistocene period down to the present day. The whale is 4. 75 inches wide, stitched by hand on 5x7 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall.
