Description & Condition:

NOTE: The ship cost for this item is not $1.00. eBay has no way for me to list this item based upon your preference of shipment. I had to enter some dollar amount to list this item. You may decide to pay the ship cost (expensive) to have the matt, print and backboard shipped. Or just the print rolled professionally inside a bullet proof tube. Inside a bullet proof tube is your best option, if expense is a consideration, for this is a large print. There is just no way for me to figure your exact cost until you decide how you want it shipped. Further details below.

David Shepherd - “Tiger Fire”- 1973 - Hand Signed in Pencil & Signed in Plate -
Limited Edition Print - 421 / 850
Copyright Solomon & Whitehead (Guild Prints) Limited by Courtesy of the Tryon Gallery Limited
Printed in England
Numbered Stamp Fine Art Trade Guild - ECA

Printed 1973

The frame measures 53 inches x 37 1/8 inches.

The print measures 44 1/8 x 30 1/8 inches

I have opened the frame for complete inspection. The print is mounted with photo corners. I have opened a number of other David Shepherds prints I am selling, and have found them to be present and holding the loose print in place.

Of interest and note is the Fine Art Trade Guild Stamp. It clearly reveals - ECA and yet penciled in below the print title is 521. The
Fine Art Trade Guild Stamp for 521 is FCA.

David has signed the print at lower right border in pencil. There is also a signed in plate signature.

Limited Edition 421 / 850 - according to the Fine Art Trade Guild Stamp.

Fine Art Trade Guild Stamp – ECA

This print has been stored for years inside of frame using archival materials. Print does show some faint signs of fading but the colors are still alive. One may view some faint, very, very mild surface creasing at the bottom of the print just above the print title. (See photo). There are also some other areas on the boarder of the print where upon very, very close inspection this is present. These areas are confined to the boarder areas where the matt covered the exterior perimeter of the print. No surface creasing present on the image. The image is perfectly flat without these imperfections.

I accept Pay Pal as my payment method as this recently has become mandatory due to revised eBay policy.

I expect payment within 7 days as defined by EBay policy. Granted, circumstances occurring in ones life require your immediate attention - a car accident, health issue, family crisis or what have you. I understand this. Just let me know that you are being challenged.

If I don’t hear from you, I wait the required 7 days and then file an unpaid item dispute stating that I have not heard from the buyer. I am VERY understanding and if you don’t want the item, can’t pay for it or whatever just let me know. Stuff happens in life. With that in mind I will just continue the dispute process by closing the item as “mutually agreed” and that will be it. I am not sure what EBay does on their end with your account standing on EBay, but from my end I will consider the matter closed. I will not and never have given negative or demeaning feedback unless a tremendous abuse has occurred. So far in my 6 years of selling on EBay that has never happened.

Once payment is received I post positive feedback. I also ask that once you receive your item and you are satisfied that you follow suit and provide the same. If you are not satisfied, contact me immediately, and we can work out the details of a return.




I primarily ship my items using the United States Postal service. I ship worldwide. I offer many shipping options for you within my listing. If you prefer UPS, FedEx - then let me know, if it is not visible within the shipping method section of my listing.

Fine art and other extremely valuable items are professionally packaged for shipment. I am open to the buyers request for how they would like these types of items prepared for packaging and shipment. Prints without frames & shipped flat is VERY expensive.  However you may desire a bullet proof mailing tube. You will need to let me know your preference. There are other prints, however, that would be damaged if rolled and I will only ship these flat. There might be a few art pieces that have beautiful frames you would like shipped along with the print. Arrangements will have to be made to determine shipping costs if you would like the frame. In each listing it will be noted if the frame is available. I took pictures of most of the prints with frames. I then dismantled the frames to inspect each print to get further information which is disclosed in this listing.

PLEASE NOTE: For other items I recycle. I believe our Earth is in danger and I do my part to help keep her healthy and clean. So I ship in boxes I collect from my local hardware store and other locations. I wrap your item in loads of bubble wrap and/or newspaper that I also recycle. I purchase boxes and bubble wrap only when none is available during my collections. When your package arrives it may not look perfect or pretty, but I can assure you it will arrive safely and in perfect condition.

I HIGHLY suggest you, as a buyer, become aware of the various shipping methods offered by the USPS and the length of time each service takes for an item to arrive at your doorstep. You may visit the USPS or UPS website to learn more about this. I sell many items that are media related and offer that shipping option within my listings – but PLEASE NOTE – though shipping Media Mail is the cheapest, it is also the slowest. It takes longer to reach you.

I include a .80 charge (that the US Post Office charges me) within my EBay shipping and handling fees to pay for shipping and receiving confirmation on all items I send. I DO NOT gouge my customers with excessive shipping fees. I DO NOT make money off of you by charging high shipping costs. I include a minimal handling fee to cover my costs for the time and expense it takes to wrap,package, label and ship your item to you.

When I receive notification from Pay Pal that payment has been received I follow to the letter what you, the buyer, have chosen as your shipping method and the instructions you have provided. I also ship to the address that you, the buyer, have supplied to Pay Pal. So please make sure your shipping address is current within your Pay Pal account. Any questions or problems please contact me.

RETURNS: You may return any purchase, within 14 days of receipt, at your expense, for a refund of your purchase price (winning bid, Best Offer, or Buy It Now price paid).

If there was an error on my end, I will refund all shipping costs.

I am extremely detailed in my listings and you are invited to email me as many times as you like to find out more about the item you are interested in purchasing. I am very prompt in answering your questions and will even take extra detailed images of the item, if you wish, and email them to you..

On Nov-06-09 at 23:44:08 PST, seller added the following information:

 A few questions I have received about this print. I have reinspected it and provided you with the information below.

This print has been framed since 1973 using archival materials. Print does show some faint signs of fading, as seen in the photos, but for me the colors are still alive. The areas underneath the matting, of course show no signs of natural fading due to the fact these areas of the print were covered with matt. Consider this before you purchase. It is still a beautiful print in wonderful condition. Though, due to the many years it has been in the frame, as seen in the photos, some fading has occurred. For me, I would be very content with having this print matted as the original matt and framed on my wall. You will have to choose based upon your level of perfection and owning a print from 1973 that reflects the above observations.
.
Print does not include frame as I dismantled it for inspection and photos. The original archival backboard is available for this print as well as the matt. Sealed with glassine.

This print will be shipped rolled in a bullet proof tube, as shipping this large print flat would be quite costly. You will have to inform me of your desire. Please read below in the shipping area for further detail.
