Frontispiece to THE EXCURSION


1985
(8”h x 5.5” w)
Photocopy print with wash.
Signed Proof (no edition).


NOTE:  THE EXCURSION (reckoned to be among the best of Morris Cox’s novels), was completed in 1928, and was only released in 1985 in an edition of 5 copies for the Gogmagog Photocopy Library.  By this time, Cox was treating the photocopier as a means of producing original prints, not merely as a means of reproduction.  This frontispiece is an example of this type of work.  All prints made in this manner are signed and dated, as any other original work of art.
