"September" - an original handprinted 14-colour wood engraving from the "months of the year" series. Engraved on lemonwood with additional colours added with blocks of lino.
"September" is printed from 4 different blocks. 
 
Wood engraving is a form of relief printmaking. The image is engraved with very sharp finely-pointed tools into a mirror- smooth surface of an end grain block. The surface is then inked up and the image is printed onto paper. I print my wood engravings on an antique cast iron hand press made in 1868. 
 
Handprinted in highly-pigmented oil-based ink on  smooth white paper Liber Charta.
 
You can choose between  an  unmounted print  or mounted  with an acid-free backboard and  mount ready to fit a standard 8x10 inch frame. The mount is affixed with paper "hinges" and can be removed if needed.
Paper size appr. 18x23cm. Image size 8x 10 cm.
 
Titled, numbered and signed in pencil.

Because the image is inked and printed by hand, there may be slight variations in tone.
