Allan Hancock features a rare and scenic view of a grizzly bear (Ursos arctos horribilis) mother and her two cubs enjoying a quiet moment in the wilds of western Canada. Set in a traditionally engraved landscape, the wildlife portrait is enhanced with multifaceted engraving that gives the grizzly bears a more three-dimensional form.
