This rare lithograph is a limited edition numbered 112 out of 999 in
existence. It has been hand autographed by Montreal legend,
the late, great Maurice "Rocket" Richard. This is an essential
addition for any art or hockey collection and a great souvenir
for the love of the game. This item comes museum framed.

A beautiful art print featuring the Rocket wearing a traditional habs jersey in a relaxed dressing room moment by artist Daniel Parry, the lower portion of the print is signed in pencil by Richard, with the artist signing along the bottom right. Titled “For the Love of the Game”, which appears in both French and English, the limited-edition number of “112/999” has been handwritten in the lower left. An absolutely beautiful piece of art, it’s printed on 100% acid-free fine-art stock, and it’s been triple-matted and framed to total dimensions of roughly 31” x 38”. With absolutely no issues for the print or frame itself, the display remains in gorgeous condition, ready for a new and appreciative home. A COA (Certificate of Authenticity) has also been affixed to the reverse.

Quote from the artist, Daniel Parry: 

"It was an incredible honour and privilege to have had the opportunity to not only paint Maurice Richard, but to spend a few days with him during the private signings for both "For the Love of the Game" and "Tradition of Excellence." The chance to get to know this Canadian Legend is sure to be one the greatest highlights of my career. It was a very sad day when Maurice Richard passed away ... he was such a great hockey player and ambassador of the sport ... and such a nice man.

Through this painting, I tried to capture his incredible intensity as well as the feel of this classic era in hockey history, when players played "For the Love of the Game". I chose to focus on creating an original dressing room scene featuring many different elements that portrayed the textures, equipment and even clothing of the time. It was important to focus on the old leather tube skates, wool jersey and wooden stick of the time - as well as adding the subtle background elements of the old fedora, dress shoes, shirts and tie.

Presenting the final painting to Maurice for the first time was the highlight for me - especially his appreciation for the originality of the piece and his desire to present copies of the Limited Edition to his family and children. Sitting with Maurice Richard and discussing art, family, and hockey during the signing of the prints is a very special memory to me as an Artist."
