Since people are so eager for these, I'm offering my final two here now.
The two highest bids when the auction closes at 11:59 pm on May 23rd will get the last 2 prints at this auction.
This is the folding plate that appears at the beginning of my new chapbook, "
The Man with the Knives." It was commissioned for the book, and drawn by Thomas Canty, whose work has long been associated with mine, beginning with his cover for the original American edition of Swordspoint. Each print is already signed by the artist, and I will add my signature if you wish.
The publisher,
Temporary Culture, commissioned a small number of additional copies of the print, and the artist signed copies in preparation for hand bound issue. There exist 25 signed copies, never folded, most intended for presentation. Publisher Henry Wessells has kindly made available a small number for this auction, all signed by the artist in pencil at lower right. The print is suitable for framing (and will be mailed in a tube to keep it uncreased). Heavy cream paper stock.
Dimensions (paper): 17 1/2 " x 8 3/4" (It's bigger than it looks from the above jpg! If you doubleclick on the jpg, and then doubleclick again, you'll get an image big enough to give you some idea of the amazing depth & detail of this beautiful drawing.)
