UP FOR saleARTHUR THE MAILMAN GNOMEBY TOM CLARKWe have up for sale a Gnome called Arthur
In 1978 Dr. Clark sculpted a small gnome for his own amusement, inspired by the cover art on the popular book \"Gnomes, illustrated by the late Rien Poortvliet. Using his keen imagination, he began sculpting other small forest-dwellers, and celebrated their life of harmony with the natural world by naming them \"Woodspirits\".
Dr. Thomas F. Clark is the lead artist for Cairn Studio, LTD. Dr. Clark, the most well-known sculptor in America today, is the most prolific and talented sculptor in the figurine industry, with collectors in every county of every state, plus Europe, Asia (especially Japan!) and Canada. Arthur the Mailman is the oldest gnome that Tom has made. He\'s 365 years old (older now since this was made in 1987). No wonder he\'s down in his back, 365 days a year he goes to the Post Office with his mail pouch. He\'s never given time off because every day as people see him go by, they say, \"Arthur, write us.\". He has two coins from the Caribbean. One shows a bird, for airmail, and the other shows a ship honoring those letters that seem to have been traveling on a slow boat to China!
