The Elephant
"The Elephant" by Anthony Fry is a colored etching with carborundum from the 1990s, created as a printer's proof (P.P. 2/5) and printed by Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop in Wiltshire. The work demonstrates the artist's technical mastery of the etching medium combined with carborundum texture, printed in multiple colors across the full sheet of wove paper measuring 370 by 445 millimeters. This significant printmaking work represents Fry's engagement with both traditional intaglio techniques and experimental color processes characteristic of late twentieth century British printmaking.
