Markson, Helena: The Cathedral
£350.00
Part of Helena Markson’s ‘Liverpool Suite’ and showing the tower of the Anglican Cathedral, this is a superb etching and sugar-lift aquatint printed in colour. It has been signed and titled by the artist, numbered 100 of 100 and is framed. As the final print in the run, and not unusually for an original hand-worked print, it shows a slight variation in tone in the upper left area.
