The image of this giraffe is from a Kodachrome colour slide that was taken in 1959 at the Seattle Zoo, Washington. It is one of 600 slides in my family collection of photographs. Our family was visiting there on vacation, and at that time I was young enough (and short enough) to be able to walk underneath the giraffe without having to duck. The edition consists of 30 prints on Arches Text Wove paper 120 gsm. All impressions were hand printed by the artist with Caligo Safe Wash Furnace Carbon Black relief printing ink, using an antique J. Smart copy press. All prints are editioned, titled, signed and dated by the artist in pencil, and monogrammed in the image: S-. All prints are either black and white as printed, or hand coloured with Pitt artist India ink brush pens.
