Due to the nature of poster paper, it may have slight handling or soft indents.<br><br>Rats are iconic in Banksy street art prints because they are emblematic of street art itself. Banksy wrote this about rats in his 2005 book Wall and Piece: “If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.” Banksy’s Love Rat is shown holding a large paint brush in his hands. He has just finished painting the outline of a bright red heart on an invisible wall. The symbolism of Love Ratt is that street art — no matter how insignificant it seems at first glance — is worthy of love, too, and that these small contributions can make a bright impact on the surrounding community.<br><br>BANKSY: Anonymous British street artist<br><br>Ref#A00193
