In the captivating scene depicted in “Night Mail,” we are thrust into a moment of suspense and intrigue. The intrepid Hare-Courier, accompanied by his steadfast Squirrel companion, has come to an unexpected standstill. Their journey, typically marked by determination and purpose, grinds to a halt… Their keen eyes catch sight of the weathered skull of a mythical Jackalope lying ominously at the roadside.

Immerse yourself in the world of Night Mail.

The significance of this discovery is underscored by the presence of an Amethyst nearby, casting a shadow of doubt and uncertainty over their mission. After all: what jewels adorn the Hare’s chest? Amethysts! This must be all that’s left of ‘the missing courier!’ With their attention diverted from their precious cargo of wax-sealed scrolls and parcels, their immediate concern turns to a new possibility… That they may be the next targets of whatever sinister force lurks in the shadows.

And they have ample reason to be nervous, for what DOES lurk in the shadows? Could they be… eyes?

Night Mail will add a stunning accent to your space.

But amidst the suspense, the painting offers a wealth of intriguing details to discover. The graceful rise and fall of the lamp, reminiscent of the mesmerising lure of the deep-sea Angler Fish, captivates the imagination. Additionally, we have the Hare’s distinctive adornments. They begin with the engraved ear-caps bearing the emblem of the ‘Ace of Spades’ (obviously a fan of Heavy Metal!). He also has a pair of expensive goggles, that allow him to see in the dark… Lastly, if you look VERY CLOSE at the engraved ‘petals’ on his flank, you’ll spot clues as to the variety of creatures he’s met on his travels…

Indulge in the timeless elegance and sophistication of Night Mail.

Our Fine-Art Prints use archival papers in two weights. For everything up to – and including – our ‘Signature Editions’, we use 210gsm Fotospeed Smooth; a versatile paper that offers exceptional contrast and detail. For the larger ‘Premium Editions’, we use Fotospeed’s 315gsm NST. Thanks to subtle textures similar to traditional etching papers, coupled to bright-white bases, both of these 100%-cotton, fine-art papers deliver revelatory, impactful images that will stand the test of time. Furthermore, we only ever use OEM inks that are rich in pigments & offer a consistent level of reproduction.
