Four GA Prints Including Grasshopper Burning Violin

1980?  Four large matted prints of GA.  Various sizes.  Unknown source.

I enjoy this creative approach to the story, particularly the scene in which the grasshopper is using his violin as firewood.  So far I have not been able to uncover an artist.  Of course I wonder if there are not more prints in the series, including perhaps a print of rejection by the ant.  The prints range from 7.25” to 12” across, with matting bringing the total width to 11.25” to 12”. 

The grasshopper sings happily while the ant works. 

 

The grasshopper in his hammock invites the ant to stop working. 

 

The grasshopper reaches out a hand to check that snow is coming. 

The grasshopper warms himself in winter by burning his violin as firewood.
