SIGNED LIMITED EDITION ANIMAL IMAGES ON HAND MADE PAPER
WITH CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY! BY RAY HARRIS

Size: A3 (398mm X 420mm) ROOIKAT (caracal, caracal)

This mainly nocturnal and extremely secretive cat is about the size of a medium sized dog.
Anyone managing to see one of these can count themselves extremely fortunate – it is an exquisite animal of exceptional beauty and it is sad that it is not seen more often. The plus side is that due to its secretive nature, it has been able to survive quite well outside conservation areas.
Its most noticeable feature is its tufted ears that flick around like switches when it listens.
This cat rates alongside the Leopard in its superb hunting abilities. It usually preys on animals smaller than itself as well as birds like Guinea Fowl, but he Artist has seen them take down Grey Duiker on occasion.
These monochrome reproductions on hand made paper (which actually means that each one is an original in its own right as each paper is different from the next), are a limited release by Ray from his upcoming book called 'Whispers of Africa', thus those that purchase one of these reproductions is liable to find they are worth far more than they paid for them. Ray also happens to be a published author on many subjects.
These monochrome reproductions have been created using a specialised ‘imprint’ process that was developed by the Artist, as it is not possible to print onto the handmade paper in the normal way. As this process only allows for between three and six copies to be generated, this laborious process needs to be repeated frequently to produce the limited edition.
