Special presentation proof, dedicated by Richards in pencil “To my friend ‘Kenneth Holmes’ – some ‘devil’. March 31. 27.”. Signed, titled and further inscribed (Trial proof)” and with a cartoon remarque of a running bird.
Arguably the best print by Fred Richards. Outstanding presentation proof impression printed with plate tone. A proof aside from the normal edition, selected specially by the artist for his friend and fellow printmaker, Kenneth Holmes.
Fred Richards was overwhelmed by Venice which he described as “the City of my Dreams”
On pale cream wove paper with full margins. Excellent original condition. |
