Description
A pair of 19th century cross-hatched black and white illustrations reprinted by hand onto unique pages from vintage books.
Need to know
I found these illustrations of male and a female writers in a 19th century copy of Punch Magazine and I had photopolymer blocks made for me by my platemaker - the wonderful Lisa at Lyme Bay Press on the Isle Of Wight so I could print them for the first time in 175 years and bring them alive once more.
Printed using Lyme Bay Press rubber-based 'Printer's Black' ink & a hand-operated Ayers and Jardine Showcard Press onto pages from vintage books.
Every print + vintage paper combination is unique and they look SO good framed above a desk or in a bookish corner of your life.
Perfect for framing.

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.
