Lyme Cage, Cheshire - intaglio print
Lyme Cage - intaglio print
'Lyme Cage' is an original intaglio / etching print, printed onto Fabriano Unica paper.
The Cage is a prominent landmark in our local area. It sits high on a hill in Lyme Park, Cheshire - in the parkland surrounding the historic Lyme Hall. The Cage had many uses over the years, from a hunting lodge to a temporary jail.
This print is an intaglio print or engraving, where the design in etched into a plate. The plate is inked up and then cleaned, leaving ink only in the grooves created by the etching. The paper is forced into these grooves from the pressure of the printing press, picking up the ink and giving us the finished print.
This is an open edition, signed by me as the artist.
