Artwork Description:

Please note that this etching is shipped 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 include any shipment costs. This multiple-plate etching which uses six metal plates individually placed together on the printing press for each hand rolled image takes its inspiration from a photo taken at Stonehenge in England. The techniques of intaglio, drypoint, and aquatint are used in conjunction with chine colle Chinese pasting, a process of merging mulberry bark papers onto the print during the printing process. Two colors of Thai mulberry bark paper were used in seventeen individually cut pieces. The print is executed with an intense black ink oil-based, Charbonnel Brand on Rives BFK white paper both manufactured in France. The image was acid-etched on six individual zinc plates that each measure three inches high 7.6 cm by two inches wide 5 cm. The paperprint size is 22 inches long x 7.5 inches high 65 cm by 20 cm. This is the SECOND EDITION of three editions of ten prints per edition.
