RARE ORIGINAL PRINT
comes from a wonderful 1940 book illustrated by the noted dog artist Diana Thorne.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Diana Thorne left for Germany around 1912 to take formal art studies in Munich and Berlin. Unfortunately, the First World War began two years later and (being Canadian) Thorne was detained by the German government as a hostile alien. She managed, however, to escape to England where she supported herself as a reporter, librarian and writer. At this time she began her first experiments in both illustration and etching.
Diana Thorne moved to the United States in 1917. During the following years she became one of America’s most recognized canine artists. In total she illustrated (and often authored) children’s books dealing with dogs and animal life. During the 1920’s and early 1930’s Diana Thorne was also active as an original etcher.
This illustration measures approximately
4" x 5"
, and has been custom matted in a
