From the Captain's Log

This piece was put together by Charlie Burns. He started with this rhinoceros, an old historic illustration. It's printed, and then the green around it is just meant to give some color and depth to it. It's interesting and unique, that's all I can say.

Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Description

A black-and-white rhinoceros engraving set into painted green and ochre panels. The piece was crafted by Charlie Burns, who began with an old historic illustration of the rhinoceros. The green and ochre background adds depth and a splash of color.

The engraving includes its original captions, a nod to its historic roots. The panels are unframed, with black bars providing contrast. A beast from a nineteenth-century natural history, suitable for any first mate’s quarters.
