Seuss Prints

For over 70 years, Dr. Seuss’s illustrations brought a visual realization to his fantastic and imaginary worlds. However, his artistic talent went far beyond the printed page. Seuss always dreamed of sharing these works with his fans and had entrusted his wife, Audrey, to carry out his wishes once he was gone. Audrey, too, believed the work deserved further recognition and that Ted himself would some day be evaluated not only as an author, but as an artist in his own right. In 1997, this dream was realized when The Art of Dr. Seuss project was launched. For the first time in history collectors were able to see and acquire lithographs, serigraphs and sculpture reproduced from Geisel’s original drawings and paintings. This historic project has opened the world’s eyes to the unique artistic talent of Dr. Seuss and, as such, galleries, museums and collectors have helped make Audrey Geisel’s promise, and Dr. Seuss’s dream, a reality. He wrote and illustrated 44 books for children under the name Dr. Seuss, and wrote additional books for children under the pen name, Theo LeSieg.
 I received the great print Christmas in Who-Ville. "Every Who down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot... Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small, would stand close together, with Christmas bells ringing. They'd stand hand-in-hand. And the Whos would start singing!" Crafted in the USA on richly textured, acid-free, 30% recycled paper. Accompanied by Artist's Biography. Printed using today's most vibrant inks to produce a brilliant reproduction. Framed prints framed in white wood with plexiglass for safety. Framed prints ready to hang with sawtooth hanger. I love this print. It goes so great with our holiday decorations! It is gorgeous, and framed so nicely. Callan recognized it right away from The Grinch. Awesome print, to be cherished for years to come by our family.

Check it all out at Seuss Prints on Facebook, as well as Seuss Prints on Twitter.
