(Hi, Kit!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other photos are here just for reference... and fun!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine my surprise when I stumbled across this explosive, full blossomed version.  Much joyful laughter and excitement as we put it through our process.  I believe it will soon be a present for my wife!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSHIPPING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll prints are shipped in a sturdy mailing tube for $8, which covers postage, tube and S \u0026amp; H.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUYING MORE THAN ONE PRINT?  Add a second print or any number thereafter of this or any other prints in our catalog and shipping is still just $8, total!!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational shipping is available and reasonable. Please contact us for details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps.  The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands.  That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here.  See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road.  I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle!  So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Grand Review","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40991863341114,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1960\/8381\/files\/image_67ed748b-086e-4136-99ec-e7278a754627.png?v=1756571604","url":"https:\/\/the-grand-review.myshopify.com\/products\/large-print-of-google-eyed-eddie-cantor-in-40-little-mothers-3d-deco-hollywood-pressbook-cover-art-cantor-meets-esky-from-esquire-mag","provider":"The Grand Review","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
