The etching aquatints illustrating Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ are from one of 175 unbound sets signed by the artist from 1972. The edition was of 275 + 25 Hors de Commerce, of which 175 were produced in the unbound edition we have for sale.
The etchings are printed on J. Barcham Green wove paper. Printed by Cliff White at White Ink, London. Published by Leslie Waddington Prints Ltd.
Each piece of paper includes an excerpt of text and we are supplying these etchings framed. When framing the etchings, we decided to mount out the text. We felt the etched images were shown to their best effect without the text in view.

Further Information
His shield was of a golden red.
Emblazoned with a porkers head,
Carbunclls at the side.
And there he swore by ale and bread
That he would kill the giant dead,
Betide what might betide.
