The 904 Paper Co. line of specialty art, one that pays homage to the iconic authors and books that took root in the Sunshine State. Unquestionably, one of Florida’s literary treasures is Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.

Originally published in 1942, Cross Creek is a classic in modern American literature. For millions of readers who cherish The Yearling, Cross Creek is the story of Marjorie Kinna Rawlings’ experiences in a tiny Florida hamlet, where she lived for 13 years. From the daily labors of managing a 72-acre orange grove to bouts with runaway pigs, Rawlings describes her life at the Creek with humor and spirit. Her determination to overcome the challenges of her rural outpost in the Florida backwoods and her genius for character and description result in a delightful and heartwarming memoir.

Using the opening page from the first chapter of a vintage copy of Cross Creek salvaged from a thirft store, 904 Paper Co. artists have created an elegant piece of wall art. Each print is hand-painted, bringing vivid color and life to the pages of an 80-year-old story. Our Vintage Book Collection makes for wonderful artistic additions to home libraries, powder rooms, hallways or offices. A must-have for lovers of Florida-centric collectables.

The art is prepared on Strathmore 140 lb., acid free cold press watercolor paper. The image area measures approximately 4 x 7 inches and is printed on 8.5 x 11 paper . And each is individually painted, so no two are the same.
