Artwork description:

Old or young, it's never too late for adventure... Inspired by Edward Lear's poem 'The Owl and the Pussy-Cat'.

This etching began as a rough sketch which was then redrawn onto a grounded zinc plate using an etching needle. The tones have been created by adding an aquatint and the plate is inked and printed by hand for each print in the edition.

Orders are carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue, rolled in a thick walled 10cm cylinder and dispatched within 7 days.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Materials used:

Textured Somerset paper 300g, Intaglio inks, zinc plate, etching press
