- Description

Wien 204 i/iii, before additional highlights were added to the foreground and sky. Wood engraving on wove japanese paper, full margins. Trial proof printed by the artist, before the edition of 60 (of which 53 were signed). Very rare. Inscribed “Trial I” in red pencil by the artist and with the original Art stamp verso.
Death of a Forest is one of Landacre’s most beautiful prints with its dramatic contrasts of black and white. The subject of a raging wildfire is poignant in our time of global warming.
