An assortment of framed prints depicting various wildlife and domestic bird subjects. The primary item is a limited edition print by Stephen Gayford titled Drying Off, featuring a tiger resting by the water edge. This print is hand-signed in pencil by the artist to the lower right margin, numbered 370/1100, and includes a printed remarque of a tiger head to the lower left. It is presented in an ornate stepped gilt frame with a white mount. The collection also includes a panoramic print by John Haysom depicting a group of ducks and ducklings near a pipe, signed in the plate to the lower left and presented in a pine frame. A folk-art style horizontal print titled Kissing Ducks by M. Wiscombe is housed in a dark-stained wood frame. The final piece is a large portrait-oriented print titled Out for the day, depicting two geese near a wooden gate, set within a wide pine-style frame. These works appear to be modern offset lithographs or giclée reproductions on paper.
