This edition of 100 silk-screen prints was published in 2006 by IAP Fine Art and Maggi Hambling, in collaboration with master printmaker Ian Wilkinson at Limberhurst Press. Stephen Fry and George Melly both attended the press launch, and £100 from each sale goes to the Terrence Higgins Trust, helping people with HIV and AIDS.

Stephen Fry Musing is an original portrait, and is derived from a full-length, life-size painting now in a private collection. Hambling chose to make this edition a 3/4-length portrait of her friend Stephen Fry, hand-touching many of the screens to ensure that the rich saturation contrast of the blues was maintained.Before Hambling created her sculpture of Wilde now opposite Charing Cross Station, London, Fry posed for the artist in the early 1990s before playing Oscar Wilde in the film ‘Wilde’.
