Lino Cut Quote

I decided to take a quote from Edward Cadbury and reproduce it as a hand lettered lino cut. The first stage was to draft out the design. Next I transferred the design to a lino block (being careful to reverse it) and cut out the background. I printed it onto a photocopy of one of the Bill Brandt photos.

The print itself wasn't great as it was only done quickly at home rather than in the printroom, but the basic idea has some value, I feel.  I took the lino into the print room at Margaret Street and used the press there to produce a better quality print. I exposed some of the Bill Brandt images onto a screen and then tried overprinting the typography.
