Wood Engraving by Caroline Salmon - Small Iris - dark brown on cream print

This wood engraving print is an edition of 50,  the plate is just 7.2cm high x 2.6cm wide. printed in dark brown ink on cream paper. It was Inspired by  flower fairy illustrations and iris in my garden. The prints are sold unframed, wrapped in cellophane.

These little prints are created using tools from my great grandfather who was a skilled wood engraver who did this professionally.

Wood Engravings are small as they are engraved on end grain Box or Sycamore. The designs are hand printed without a press, so they don’t have the indent you would find on an etching.

For info: These little prints are best framed with a double layer of mount, any good framer can cut them! All my prints have a waney edge created from the tradition of tearing the paper into the desired size rather than cutting it.
