Pencil signed wood engraving, numbered edition of 40 printed on Japon. Block measures 31.5cm x 23cm plus full borders. Conservation mounted. Literature: ‘The Wood Engravings of John Farleigh’ by Monica Poole, full page illustration page 101. Poole refers to this wood engraving in the text, ‘The velvety appearance of the flowers is brilliantly handled and I do not think this is only due to the use of stipple, the flickering whites and the use of dark shapes on a dark back ground contribute a great deal. This is a remarkably perceptive piece of engraving.’
