Description
A frameable signed Open Edition print combining a vintage book page, a vintage handprinted frame and a handprinted ampersand from old wood type..
Need to know
Dimensions ; 150mm x 140 mm
I spend my working life surrounded by books and one never knows what is going to happen when one catches your attention and you get drawn in. Adventures await!
With that in mind I wanted to create a print that embodied those hidden possibilities and those journeys we have yet to go on. I found a beautiful frame of books in an old magazine and I digitally removed the text inside so I could add a real page from a vintage book and then overprint a beautiful HUGE ampersand in Lyme Bay Press rubine red ink.
I love how this turned out and think it will look lovely framed in an office, by a bed or in a library.
Signed as an Open Edition in the left margin and packaged on grey board in an acid-free vintage glassine bag.

My name is Simon Trewin, Founder and Chief Inkoholic. My prints, books and cards always start out with me scratching my head and thinking, “I wonder what would happen if I...." and then I am away!
Experimentation is at the heart of my practice - I love playing around with inks, vintage papers, wooden illustration blocks and historic metal type to a clanking soundtrack of my wonderful family of hand+foot operated presses. I also love classic typefaces, bold colours and an ever-present sense of how good prints can make a real instant impact. As you will see - I can rarely resist sprinkling a sense of humour in to the mix too!
Running through everything I do is my passion to help keep heritage crafts alive and to enjoy that sense of a historical connection to the printers, presses and ephemera that have come before me. I also truly believe in the benefits of slowing down, switching off and zoning into the deep focus that this process of discovery inspires in me.
In a world where everything is too fast, I enjoy nothing more than closing my studio door and diving into the rich and ever-rewarding world of letterpress printmaking.
