A Linocut Feathursday

Cuckoos, Gulls. Pelicans, Quails, and Swans; just some of the featured feathers in Brigitte Hanf’s A Bestiary: Twenty-six Linocuts with poems by John Fuller, printed in Oxford, England, at Fuller’s well-regarded Sycamore Press in 1968. This book, actually a small portfolio of printed cards, was one of the first publications to come off the press, which was founded in in 1968 and closed in 1992 after publishing some of the most influential and critically acclaimed writers of the late 20th century. We featured other linocut animals from this card set in a Staff Pick by our former graduate intern Elizabeth in 2016.
