(l) Linocut – Arrival of the Southern Rights on ‘Sudspitze’ Map

R990.00

In early winter along the Cape coast of South Africa, the first Southern Right whales arrive after their long journey from Antarctica. Their arrival is eagerly awaited in numerous small coastal towns and villages and when the first whales are sighted, the news spreads quickly. They come to calve and mate in the protected and relatively calm, warm waters and by September, many of the bays along the coast are bubbling with Southern Rights.

Description

This is an original Linocut. To produce the Linocut, an image is first drawn on to paper and then transferred to a sheet of Lino. Using specialized tools and a surgeon’s scalpel, the raised sections of Lino not required are delicately cut away and removed. Lino ink is applied to the Linocut which is then placed face down on to the map and carefully compressed with a roller, transferring the ink to the paper. It is a time consuming process subject to many errors. This is a limited edition Linocut of 100. It is delivered in a tube, ready for framing.
