About The Mats

All of our prints are bevel matted in a very high quality, and simple off-white matting. The BLACK, ACID-FREE backing, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE PRINT, but which should be kept with the print when matted, also meets the same high quality standard. We take pride in what we sell—look at our feedback.

All mats are acid-free and the tape used to attach the print to the top of the mat is artists tape. This print is truly ready to be framed and preserved.

About Diana Thorne

 

Diana Thorne, born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, left for Germany in 1912 to attend art studies in Munich and Berlin. Unfortunately, the First World War began two years later and Thorne, a Canadian citizen, was detained by the German government as a hostile alien. Diana, however, managed to escape to England where she supported herself for several years as a reporter, librarian and writer. It was during this period that she began illustrating and etching. Diana Thorne moved to the United States in 1917, where she became one of America's most recognized canine artists. Some of her most famous illustrated books include Puppy Stories, Chips, Cocker Spaniel, Major and the Kitten, Baby Animals, The Dog Book (1932), Dog-Basket (1930), and Your Dogs and Mine (1935).
