A sheet of B4 'Bear Families' paper ~ HV113521
Bear Families is just one of several decorative papers printed by Grafiche Tassotti of Bassano, in Italy. This one features a number of bears. I have named it 'Bear Families' to distiguish it from other friendly teddy and doll based pictures. In this print the animals are all quite large.
The 85 gsm paper shown above is first of all printed on B1 sheets. The picture shows a sheet cut and folded down to size B4 ~ 350x 250mm. The paper is of a 'natural' tone - a very light ivory colour. The pattern is 'one~way~up' ~ V1 ~ and printed so that the bears are all sitting with the grain. [126493].
I have access to some Tassotti papers, and am able to photograph them in order to show a small part of their comprehensive range of decorated papers. Clicking on a picture will take you to the appropriate descriptive page such as this. Alternatively a guide to some illustrated indexes is available [125406].
