Peace on Earth -"Dreamy Wispers" by Duane Geisness. Sixth and Final issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $70.00

In a cozy cave
carved out of arctic ice
by their solicitous mother,
Iwo polar bear cubs
confidently await her
return. One seems to be
whispering to the other:
"Wake up—let's play!"

"Dreamy Whispers," is the sixth and final issue in the Peace on Earth series and features one of arctic's most fascinating wild creatures—the great polar bear.

Weighing barely a pound (0.5 kilograms) at birth, polar bear cubs are completely helpless. They require their mother's care for the first ten months to two years of their lives. When full grown each may weigh more than 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms)! Right now, thanks to their thick insulated fur, they are completely comfortable in this barren and frigid world.

For the final portrait in his beautiful series, wildlife artist Duane Geisness creates a portrait of peace, showering the cubs with a blanket of sparkling snow. Recreated on fine porcelain and encircled with a shining platinum border, "Dreamy Whispers" is a vision of peace and beauty.

The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
