Alexander Barton's Hope II is "a drawing of self deprecating delight. An auto-destructive and self sufficient inversion of the reflective icon." The letterpress edition measures roughly 7" tall by 9" wide. Part of the Tiny Showcase letterpress print series, the reproduction of Alexander's graphite on paper artwork has been printed by Providence's DWRI Letterpress on Somerset's velvet finish 250gsm archival printmaking paper. The two-color artwork has been blind-debossed with the edition number, artist's name, and the insignia of the printer. Edition of 125.

Available framed in maple with archival mat and glass by Vermont's Joel Taplin of Taplin MFG. Framed artwork is archivally matted and hung with UV-protective glass. The hand-crafted frames are made from locally-milled wood with inlaid splines in each corner for added strength. Please allow three weeks for the completion of your custom, hand-made frame.

Also available with custom-cut, museum matting for standard size frames. Please allow an extra 3 business days for processing.
