About This Item

Used; Like New/Used; Like New. A pair of woodcut engravings, "Blake", "Palmer" (depicting the nineteenth century landscape painter, etcher, and printmaker Samuel Palmer RWS), the first inscribed "for Sylvia & Ted" and each signed "Baskin." The images measuring: 8 x 11 cm (Blake) and 5 x 5.5 cm (Palmer).  Fully backed to paper support with small tears and losses to periphery of fragile tissue just outside of the plate, presented archivally matted to 11 x 14 inches and 8 x 10 inches overall respectively. Leonard Baskin had befriended Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes when they were living in Northampton, MA, in 1957-1958. Baskin taught printmaking and sculpture at Smith College from 1953-1973. The friendship flourished after their return to England and Baskin continued to collaborate with Hughes for decades, indeed right up to Hughes' death in 1998. These prints were engraved as part of Blake and the Youthful Ancients (1956), fifty copies of which were printed, the book consisting of 18 wood engravings of William Blake and his followers.

But we also sell all items - through our website and through direct negotiation by phone or email - subject to the following stipulation:

Unless sold "on approval" by advance agreement in writing, should a client at any point have authenticity concerns about an item purchased from us, we require any return request to be accompanied by THREE written opinions against the authenticity of the item in question.

If the claim is in regards to an autograph, at least one opinion must be from a member of the Professional Autograph Dealers Association (a guide by specialization is posted on the PADA website).
