"The Single Action" is an intaglio print done on Arches 100% cotton rag paper with the addition of chine-cole (which is an added, extra thin paper which gives the image the sepia tone).
The Plate:
I hand engraved the 6x12 steel plate with the Single Action and a little extra fluff besides, using my version of period style scroll to embellish this icon of the American West.
The larger scrolls are a little different & let me say, it's a challenge cutting patterns that large while keeping them smooth & flowing. Shading is liner cut with cross hatching & I used a punch dot for the background.
The plate is mild steel, size 6x12 & cuts like butter (almost too soft!).
The print:
The size of the printed image is 6x12; overall size is 20x22 (there's a 4" wide margin), and it's suitable for framing. The Single Action is about 70% of actual size.
The edition is limited to 50 hand pulled prints, signed and numbered.
This is the first edition & there will be more to follow!
