Original John Hall Thorpe woodcut, printed in colours.
Variant colour proof, with all of the anemone stems printed in green ink (these stems were left blank in the normal edition); with the flowers printed in tones of grey, blue and pinkish orange, without striations on their petals; and with the vase printed in the mid-blue normally used for the central flower. Signed proof, with Hall Thorpe’s London publication line and American copyright date of 1926.
The Chinese Vase is one of John Hall Thorpe’s largest colour woodcuts. It can be found in a variety of different colour schemes, varying from schemes which include vivid reds and deep blues to impressions which are printed in almost monochromatic tones.
On firm cream wove paper with margins, as issued. Faint time-tone in margin towards top and left of sheet, otherwise very good original condition. |
