About the Item

Very collectible and rare, sold out limited edition 50th Anniversary of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Dr. Seuss “Grinch at Mount Crumpit” serigraph on coventry rag paper. This is a large work of art measuring approximately 60.5” x 31” inches framed. Image paper size is 55” x 26”. Numbered in pencil on the bottom portion right hand side, 17/295, delineating that this is number 17 of only 295 of these sold out editions in the world. Embossed 50th Anniversary circular chop mark seal for proof of authenticity is located on the left hand side bottom portion. This is an estate art piece from a private collector. Originally purchased at an authorized Dr. Seuss gallery in Maui, Hawaii. The “Grinch at Mount Crumpit” is elegantly and transitionally custom floated framed in a black mat finish frame over black silk matting with plexiglass front and a wine red colored exterior accent fillet. The serigraph is attached to an acid free foam core lift, hidden behind the work of art to insure it stays centered in the frame. Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1957 book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Mount Crumpit is a mountain high above and to the north of Whoville. The Grinch and his dog Max both reside there. Dr. Seuss felt people largely misconstrued The Grinch for the ultimate villain saying, “Can't they understand that the Grinch in my story is the Hero of Christmas? Sure, he starts out as a villain, but it’s not how you start out that counts. It’s what you are at the finish.” This sentiment is what makes Dr. Seuss’s unorthodox creature so memorable—in the end he became his best self, he became the Hero of Christmas, and The Grinch himself carved the “roast beast.” Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 and passed away on September 24, 1991 at the age of 87 years old. He was a very famous American author, political cartoonist, poet, animator, book publisher, and artist, best known for authoring children's books under the pen name Dr. Seuss. His work includes several of the most popular children's books of all time, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death. Geisel adopted his "Dr. Seuss" pen name during his university studies at Dartmouth College and the University of Oxford. He left Oxford in 1927 to begin his career as an illustrator and cartoonist for Vanity Fair, Life, and various other publications. He also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for Flit and Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM. He published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he worked in an animation department of the United States Army where he produced several short films, including Design for Death, which later won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
