Price History
Description
A reproduction art print of a Rembrandt chalk and charcoal drawing of an Asian elephant, c.1637, from the British Museum's collection. Made in the UK, the print is glazed and framed in an antique-effect gold frame, ready to hang on your wall. Founded in 1753, the British Museum was the first national public museum in the world. From the outset, it was a museum of the world, for the world, and this idea still lies at the heart of the museum's mission today. The collection tells the stories of cultures across the world, from the dawn of human history, over two million years ago, to the present. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its understated elegance and historical charm, making it a versatile addition to various interiors. It works particularly well in modern, minimalist spaces where the neutral tones can complement a clean colour palette, or in traditional settings that lean on classic art. The framed print’s natural tones make it easy to incorporate into a neutral scheme, while its intriguing subject can serve as a focal point in a gallery wall or standalone feature. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple, unpatterned accessories or placing it above a neutral sofa or console to highlight its understated sophistication. Its medium size makes it flexible for different wall spaces, from living rooms to hallways, creating a subtle yet refined visual interest.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
