Artwork Description:

This etching was inspired by an albumin print created between 1865 and 1886 in Paris, France. It can be found in The A. D. White Architectural Photographs Collection, RareManuscript Collections at Cornell University, Accession Number 1553090.01449. The etching depicts the door of Notre Dame Cathedral, and I printed the work by hand using French, oil-based inks on British Stonehenge cream colored paper. My etching techniques included intaglio, aquatint, and drypoint. This SECOND Edition of Three was executed in a blend of reds and earth tones mixed with gold ink and is limited to only FIVE prints. The image size is 10 inches high by 8 inches wide The print measures 15 inches high by 12 inches wide or 38.100cm by 30.480cm. Please note that this etching is shipped and sold to the buyer without a frame or mat. This keeps the price reasonable and also allows the collector a wide range of choice in framing selection. For shipment, a sturdy cardboard box is employed. The etching is first wrapped in two layers of acid free glassine and then placed between two archival boards. This is next placed into the shipping box and securely packed with bubble wrap. The price does NOT shipment costs to the collector.
