Comments |
Big and bold--this print depicts a "shiisa" (or guardian lion) set against a greenish background. Typical of
many Clark prints, the print's lower half incorporates highly visible natural "woodgrain."
Once full edition of 50 prints completed, Clark "strikes his initials" into the block's face to ensure
NO future printings. |
