DIANA THORNE 1937 POLAR BEAR LARGE ART PRINT MATTED

ABOUT DIANA THORNE

Diana Thorne, born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, left for Germany in 1912 to attend art studies in Munich and Berlin. Unfortunately, the First World War began two years later and Thorne, a Canadian citizen, was detained by the German government as a hostile alien. Diana, however, managed to escape to England where she supported herself for several years as a reporter, librarian and writer. It was during this period that she began illustrating and etching. Diana Thorne moved to the United States in 1917, where she became one of America's most recognized canine artists. Some of her most famous illustrated books include Puppy Stories, Chips, Cocker Spaniel, Major and the Kitten, Baby Animals, The Dog Book (1932), Dog-Basket (1930), and Your Dogs and Mine (1935).

SOME COMMENTS ABOUT OUR MATS:

PAYMENT: We accept it all—whatever is most convenient for you:  PayPal, cashier’s checks, money orders and personal checks. Personal checks require about 10 days to clear so shipping is delayed. However, we only accept PayPal for International Payments. We expect the winning bidder to make contact within 5 days. And, we expect payment within 10 days after we make contact. Since we are charged for items whether or not we get paid, we must report non-paying bidders to get the ebay credit.

If you have anything that you have a question about please make sure you ask before you bid.  We are happy to answer all questions and usually can do so with 24 hours.

INSURANCE: We recommend insurance on all items. However, our policy is that insurance is optional. That said, uninsured items are the responsibility of the buyer. If you do not receive your item within a reasonable amount of time, or if it arrives broken, and the item has been insured just send us an email and we will forward the insurance receipt to you. We do not follow up on insurance issues beyond sending you the insurance slip. If requested, we will try to insure shipments outside the Continental U.S. However, the post office does not offer insurance to some locations. Please ask before you bid if you need insurance and you live outside the Continental U.S. If you don't ask I will assume that you don't want insurance and will ship without any, at your risk. 

RETURN POLICY: Please be assured that we strive to provide our customers and potential customers with accurate descriptions and we always do our best to mention any condition issues worth noting. If you are ever dissatisfied with a purchase from us, please contact us immediately. We stand behind what we sell and will do our best to accommodate. All of our items have a full return policy (less shipping).
