The Money Lender is a unique print: It is the only stonelithograph produced in Another Rainbow’s long-running series of the 1980’s and ’90’s.

“Inspired by the famous Norman Rockwell stone lithographs recreated under the master’s guidance in the 1970’s by Atelier EttingerInc., of New York, Barks and Another Rainbowl chose that studio to do Uncle Scrooge McDuck’s portrait shown here of The Money Lender. The richness of colors cannot be duplicated by any other process, but because of the great efforts involving Barks and his wife as well as the expense it was decided to do only one print in this manner.” Though done in 1983, The Money Lender was shelved until 1997, fourteen years later! There were a small number of Artist's and Publisher's Proofs but no Progressive Editions nor Printer’s Proofs. Two papers were used, the expensive and exotic Inomachi Nacre (Japon) and the very fine, traditional Papier d’Arches.

A very unique print, even for this series of prints from Another Rainbow... it was originally printed in 1983, then set aside for 14 years before finally being released in 1997! So although this was approximately the 24th print released, it was actually the 4th one printed. From the 200-unit edition on papier d'Arches, this fine and majestic portrait of the Duck patriarch has an image area of 14" x 17.25" that was produced in a stone lithograph process. It is signed and numbered under the image area. In Excellent condition. Comes with a matching numbered COA.
