Angler netting his catch - Signed & Numbered Ltd. Etching by Henry Wilkinson RE. Henry Wilkinson RE 1921 - 2011 Original Signed Drypoint Etching Henry Wilkinson's engravings and dry point studies of dogs have become much sought after since his sad passing in 2011. I can guarantee this items authenticity and that it is a genuine item. "Henry Wilkinson was probably the last remaining link with the great artist/engraver/painters of Canine Editions of the past. Henry Wilkinson worked alone in his studio workshop in rural Kent, where he produced his Canine Editions by the highly skilled process of ‘Dry-Point’ and ‘Line Engraving’. He printed all his own plates, in the traditional method of hand ‘pulling’ each plate on an antique printing press. All Editions are printed on hand made, 100% linen rag paper, then after printing, are hand finished. Because of the process used, the run for each of the published Editions are very small (only 250 or less). Each Edition is hand signed and numbered by Henry Wilkinson personally and after an Edition is complete, the engraved printing plate is destroyed, ensuring that no further copies can be produced.
