Paula Rego
Pendle Witches (Deluxe)
Paula Rego's "Pendle Witches (Deluxe)" is a 1996 limited edition artist's book that combines printmaking with literary narrative, featuring an etching with aquatint titled "Him" as its centerpiece. This proof copy, one of only 90 editions printed by the esteemed Culford Press, exemplifies the fine art book tradition with its Somerset wove paper, full margins, and meticulous production details. The work is enhanced by Rego's personal inscriptions on both the flyleaf and justification page, transforming this historical subject matter into an intimate artistic statement housed in its original cloth boards and solander box.
