One of the earliest of the run (24/1000) this signed lithograph is in
the shape of an inverted "T" and in its original "floating
frame" - glazed both back and front. Whilst this has its attractions
it does make the work very difficult to photograph! I used a background
that I hoped would mean that shadows would not show. Unhappily they do
but they are only shadows!
