Having just completed lino number 6 in the series, I decided to proof it at Birmingham Printmakers to try out the etching press and a few different papers. I tried out a 100g Zerkall, a 160g Velin Arches and a 220g Fabriano Rosapina Bianco. The latter was the most successful.
This print will serve as the first 'introductory' print to the series and as such doesn't feature any figures. It is an homage to the well known woodcut of Kelmscott Manor from the 1892 Kelmscott Press edition of 'News from Nowhere'
by William Morris.
