''Fern Fever’ or ‘Pterodomania’ describes the Victorian era craze of fern collecting and fern motifs in decorative art including pottery, glass, metals, textiles, wallpaper, and sculpture.

This is a linocut print of some lovely ferns sketched in Harrogate's Valley Gardens. It's an original reduction linocut print, using just one block of lino and a process of carving away the lino between each layer of colour to produce the final image.

It is a limited variable print from an edition of just 12 prints using Zerkall extra smooth printing paper, 145gsm and Lawrence linseed oil relief printing inks. The image size is 30.5cm x 30.5cm and the paper size is approx 38cm x 38cm which gives a generous margin to allow for framing.

My linocuts are handmade from start to finish - hand carved, inked and handprinted, and as such they will have small variations between prints - making each print into a unique artwork.

All of my prints are flat packed if delivered within the UK, and will be sent packaged in tissue and a tube if delivered outside of the UK. If international delivery required, please contact me for a price and to arrange delivery  (info@susannoble.co.uk) .  

If you have any questions, please just get in touch and thanks for taking a look!
