Sumatran tiger framed original (1 of 1) and fine art prints (1 of 25) “The pearl of Sumatra has a fate as dark as its stripes,” says Rigby artist and engraver, Geoffrey Lignon. “Critically facing extinction, this sub-species of tiger found in the Sunda Islands, where the Javan and Bali tigers are now extinct, is doomed by irresponsible human expansion, poaching, and a lack of genetic variety. In a few years, possibly decades, the beauty of these creatures will only be witnessed through windows of the past. Sumatran tigers are one of the most beautiful animals on the planet and should be spared

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as JOHN RIGBY & CO. (GUNMAKERS) LTD, number 08493364. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
