Description

The acclaimed author and artist of Babar the Elephant books, Laurent de Brunhoff?s In the Wilderness shows Babar's athletic prowess as he canoes downstream through the scenic West, while two friendly bears wave hello. The image is based on de Brunhoff?s own love of the outdoors and his great appreciation for the American Western landscape, particularly in Utah and Colorado. This image does not appear in any Babar books, but exists only in this original print. It?s a unique piece of a global cultural phenomenon for lovers and collectors of literature and art.
