Fountains Abbey (2/15)

Number 2 of a limited edition of 15

Image size 30 x 30 cm
Paper size 46 x 46 cm

Printed with oil based inks on Zerkall printmaking paper

This collagraph is one of a very limited edition. The plate from which it is produced is very fragile and so not many impressions can be made. It shows the beautiful ruins of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire, England.

For each print the plate is inked up with all the colours in the image at one time and then passed by hand through an etching press (see the last image). This means that each impression will be slightly different. There is a blog post illustrating the process of making this collagraph here.

The edition number, title, artist signature and date are written under the image in pencil.

The print is supplied unframed. It will be backed with card and wrapped in cellophane.
