Maurice Sendak partnered with Kenneth Tyler Graphics on this fine, dramatic print of a nighttime scene of where the wild things are. According to Schiller, the prints were pulled circa 1979 or 1980. This one is dated in pencil 5 July 1984, possibly when the wash was added by hand. The work was never editioned, but Sendak signed several prints in 2002 at the request of the printmaker.
"This print shows 'Moishe' Wild Thing surrounded by elements that evoke Outside Over There: the beach and tall-masted ship in the background, a prominent sunflower in the foreground, and the full moon above" (Schiller, Maurice Sendak: A Celebration of the Artist and His Work, p.155).
