The item offered here is a book plate from "The Watership Down Film Picture Book". The page is 9.5 by 7.5 (app. 24 by 19 cm) with the actual image 8.75 by 5.75 (app. 20 by 14 cm ). ...As this is a page from a book, there is a different picture on each side. The illustrations are actual animation art and printed on heavy, glossy, excellent quality paper with slight damage from the binding glue on one side. This can easily be covered by a matte or sliced off.
One side of the print shows Fiver's reaction as Blackberry and Dandelion tell him that his brother and the rabbits' leader, Hazel, has been shot by a farmer. On the other side, Fiver follows a vision of the Black Rabbit of Inlé across the foggy down, where he finds Hazel still alive and hiding in a drainpipe. A moving and eerie scene.
