Original John Buckland Wright wood engraving.

Unique proof impression, printed in terracotta ink, folded to form a greetings card. Inscribed extensively in ink by John Buckland Wright’s wife, Mary, as a greetings card dated January 1st 1954.

In this charming small wood engraving John Buckland Wright has demonstrated his outstanding ability to portray the clothed female form with both his natural style of Grecian elegance and the simplest of line.
