This sketch of Anne of Green Gables Heritage Place in Prince Edward Island captures the essence of this iconic literary landmark and is available as a greeting card. The sketch depicts the charming white farmhouse with its distinctive green gables, surrounded by the lush, rolling landscape that inspired L.M. Montgomery's beloved novel. Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908, tells the story of an orphan girl mistakenly sent to live with siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. The novel's immense popularity has made it a cornerstone of Canadian literature and culture. The real-life inspiration for Green Gables was the home of Montgomery's cousins in Cavendish, PEI, which now serves as the Anne of Green Gables Museum.
Two museums on Prince Edward Island celebrate Anne's legacy:
- Green Gables Heritage Place: Located in Cavendish, this site includes the restored farmhouse, barn, and grounds that inspired the setting of the novel. Visitors can explore period rooms, exhibits about Montgomery's life, and walking trails through the Haunted Wood and Lover's Lane.
- Anne of Green Gables Museum: Situated in Park Corner, this museum is housed in the home of Montgomery's aunt and uncle. It features many of the author's personal belongings, the Lake of Shining Waters, and the Blue Parlor where Montgomery was married.
These museums help preserve and celebrate the enduring legacy of Anne of Green Gables, attracting literature enthusiasts and tourists from around the world to Prince Edward Island.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
It's important that you should care for your fine art prints just as you would any delicate and valuable artwork. With proper handling, your prints will remain in pristine condition for many years to come.
Follow these recommendations:
Handling
Natural skin oils or other contaminants can easily transfer to the print. As a preventative measure, we recommend washing your hands before touching the print. Use both hands and support the back of the print when picking it up.
Never attempt to rub the surface of the image with your finger or fingernail as this could scratch the surface of the print.
Exposure to Elements
Keep your print out of direct sunlight. Even the best quality materials are subject to cracking or fading if exposed to prolonged periods of sunlight. Although normal incandescent light bulbs do not present a problem, fluorescent lights do emit harmful ultraviolet rays.
Hang your print away from areas where airborne grime, dust and pollutants such as cigarette smoke can leave a discolouring residue.
Avoid extreme fluctuations in moisture and temperature. Excessive fluctuations between dryness and humidity, or extreme heat and cold can negatively affect the state of your print. Museums keep the temperature generally around 18 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 40%. If the humidity is too high, be on the lookout for mold.
Framing
When framing your print use a good quality glass specifically designed for protecting fine art and photographic images. We also recommend using an acid-free archival mat to prevent the print and glass from touching. Like many artworks, an original is sensitive to light. Please ensure that your framer uses UV resistant/museum glass when framing. This glass will protect the artwork against direct or indirect light for years to come.
Storage
To prevent accidents, store your print away from anything that might press against the image surface. Some objects may not seem sharp enough to damage the print, but you'd be surprised at what will cause a scratch, a tear, or a rip.
Do not stack prints on top of each other. Separate them with pieces of acid-free paper to avoid damage.
Wrap your print well if you plan to transport it. Be sure to put a piece of acid-free paper over the front to protect the print. Rough handling can damage the print so pack it securely.
Do not cover your print with plastic for long periods of time. If there is humidity in the air, the mold may begin to grow. Cotton, acid-free sheets are the best for keeping dust away.
Cleaning
The print should be dusted with a clean, soft rag, to prevent dust buildup. Never use cleaning products or water as this may permanently damage the print.
Do not blow on your print as you may inadvertently deposit water droplets that can mark your print.
If using compressed air, apply short bursts while keeping the nozzle at least 12" back from the face of the print.
