Playful Art Prints
Playful art prints: humorous, whimsical and fantastical illustrations, caricatures and paintings. The largest groups are J.J. Grandville's satirical engravings from Un autre monde (1844), with animated plants, dancing objects and dandies, and Albert Robida's 1893 illustrations of a comic future Paris with airships and flying vehicles. The collection also includes Henri de Montaut's illustrations for Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon (1868), Hieronymus Bosch's Ship of Fools, James Ensor's Skeleton Painter, Francisco de Goya's Los Caprichos, Hugo Simberg's King Hobgoblin Sleeping, Mikhail Vrubel's Hansel and Gretel, Harry Clarke's illustrations for The Rape of the Lock, and children at play in paintings by Étienne Dinet.
The works were chosen for wit and invention, including satire that still reads clearly today.
The engravings suit home offices, children's rooms and powder rooms, where they can be seen up close. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with low-glare acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
