The Complete set of 6 Collector’s Edition Giclée prints
From the golden age of Science Fiction and Fantasy illustration – the most iconic book covers for Michael Moorcock’s novels as published by Mayflower in the early 1970s. In a field dominated by endless versions of Chris Foss’s titanic spaceships and Frank Frazetta’s scantily-clad barbarians, Bob Haberfields surreal, baroque art stood out for its power, impeccable execution and wild imagination. Moorcock himself specifically chose Bob Haberfield for his covers because he felt the images most accurately reflected the lush decadence and doomed fatalism of his Eternal Champion novels. Six of these paintings- The Knight of the Swords, The Queen of the Swords, The King of the Swords, The Final Programme, The Eternal Champion and The Champion of Garathorm – are now exclusively available as high-quality Giclée prints.
The Complete set of 6 Collector’s Edition Giclée prints are official reproductions, numbered Giclée, open print run from the Bob Haberfield Estate. Printed at the original size that they where painted by Bob, which is approximately A2. Printed on high quality Hahnemühle Matt Fibre 200gr Gamme Galerie paper.
These reproductions have been painstakingly colour-corrected by myself in conjunction with my printer, so that each print matches as closely as possible the colour of the original paintings. They have a generous white border around the print with a paper size of 59.4cm x 42 cm and a print size of 53cm x 38cm. So they will fit into a standard A2 size Frame, eliminating the need for an expensive custom made frame. Each print is quality controlled by myself, and printed on High quality paper. I then personally hand title and emboss them with the “Bob Haberfield Estate Original” stamp and sign them myself, giving each print a personal touch. Each print comes with a certificate of authenticity and is then wrap them in tissue paper and place them inside a plastic cover before popping them into a sturdy art tube to ensure they reach you in perfect condition.
The term Giclée, which is pronounced Zhee’Clay comes from the French word Gicleur which means ‘to spray’, refers to the printing process where the ink jet printer sprays the ink onto the paper resulting in higher resolution prints.
The Complete set of 6 Collector’s Edition Giclée prints are created by wide format inkjet printers and are known for their longer life span. They’re resistant to smudging, sun or humidity damage. The inks themselves are pigment based rather than dye based inks, which are thus UV- resistant and stronger when the prints are handled.
