Durrell Original Auction Goes to High Bidder
Wildlife Preservation Canada (WPC) was very pleased to have the opportunity to offer for auction these two original works by Gerald Durrell. Ink pen on white paper, both are beautifully framed and matted and signed by Gerry. Both originals were drawn for reproduction in WPC's newsletter as Gerry’s 'Christmas' wishes to Canadian members.
They were successfully auctioned off to a generous supporter in Jersey, Channel Islands.
"Love Thy Neighbour at All Times" $2,500
"Ark Anniversary" $4,000
We would like to thank all those who made bids, and who helped us raise funds to save some of the most endangered animals in Canada and around the world.

The Ark’s Anniversary. Pictured are various pairs of birds and animals dancing together with Gerry and his wife Lee dancing front middle. This work was drawn in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Jersey Trust. |
