Description

An original hand engraved image on maple end grain wood, hand printed on Mohawk Superfine soft white paper.

This image illustrates the Royal Crescent in Bath, Great Britain, poking fun at the “ha-ha” – also known as a sunk fence, blind fence, ditch and fence, deer wall, or foss: a recessed landscape design element that creates a vertical barrier (particularly on one side) while preserving an uninterrupted view of the landscape beyond from the other side.

This print received a “Print with a Point” award from the Society of Wood Engravers 86th Annual Exhibition for illuminating the social separations built right into the landscape in Bath.
