Years ago, my son Zac was asked by a friend to draw a riverboat for an event. Zac, initially trained by his uncle Thomas Kinkade, loves such artistic challenges. He sketched
The River Queen with great detail, making one easily envision the steamboat era on the Mississippi. You can sense the romance, intrigue, and adventure on this boat. Honeymooners enjoyed the breeze on the upper balconies, while gamblers lurked below deck. The captain's whistle echoed for miles. Mark Twain told stories of this era, and Zac has re - brought it to life for Thomas Kinkade Studios. Come aboard
The River Queen and start your own journey! The boat moves through the day, and new vistas await. On the river, the journey itself is fulfilling.
This is a Limited Edition Paper Print from Thomas Kinkade Studios. These prints are made with extreme attention to detail and color accuracy. They're printed on premium 100 - lbs. archival papers using long - life pigment inks that resist fading better than conventional press inks. Each print is individually numbered and comes with a matching Certificate of Authenticity.
For framing, we preserve the Limited Edition's integrity. The print is placed between 1/8' shatter - resistant Plexiglas and rigid foam core backing, with no adhesive touching the art. The framed art has a heavy craft paper backing and a coated wire hanger, which not only looks great but also protects the art for years. Framing features include premium museum - quality mouldings, shatter - resistant Plexiglas, a heavy craft paper finished back, and a coated wire hanger.
Using this Limited Edition Paper Print of The River Queen is simple. You can hang it right on your wall using the coated wire hanger. Place it in a spot where you can enjoy the beautiful image every day, like your living room or bedroom. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the shatter - resistant Plexiglas. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they may damage the print or the framing. Store the print in a cool, dry place if you need to take it down for any reason. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, as the long - life pigment inks, while good at resisting fade, can still be affected by strong sunlight over time. Also, be careful when handling the framed print to avoid any accidental bumps or scratches that could damage the art or the frame.
