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.

Further Information
The text from The Summoner’s Prologue is:
Hold up thy tail, Thou Satan! Then said he,Show forth thine arse and let the friar see
The nest ordained for friars in this place
Ere the tail rose a furlong into space
From underneath it there began to drive
Much as if bees were swarming from a hive,
Some twenty thousand friars in a rout
And swarmed all over hell and round about,
And then came back as fast as they could run
And crept into his arse again, each one.
