Majestic ‘Brace of Rhinos’ print added to Rigby Art catalogue
London gunmaker John Rigby & Co.’s art department has added an exquisite fine art
print titled ‘Brace of Rhinos’ to its ever growing portfolio. The print is an arrestingly
vivid depiction of two young beasts grazing, and has been taken from an original work
by Rigby’s in-house engraver, Geoffrey Lignon.
Taking more than 200 hours to complete, the intricate pencil-drawn original was a
labour of love for the young French engraver, who has been working with Rigby since
2015 Geoffrey himself has long been passionately interested in depicting African
animals, and some of Rigby’s most famous modern rifles are inlaid with other examples
of his work. In this piece, he shows the majestic beasts in their true form and natural
habitat of African grasslands.
Only 30 limited edition prints have been made. Each one has been signed by the artist
himself, relief-stamped with Rigby’s famous ‘double-R’ logo, and comes with a
certificate of authenticity. The first print in the series hangs in the Liège School of
Gunmaking, where Geoffrey studied.
As with all Rigby Art, each purchaser will have his or her name entered into the historic
Rigby ledgers for posterity, just as they would if buying a firearm.
