'Giant Flower Beetle' misprint

£30.00 On Sale

There are some small imperfections on these misprints such as a tiny bit ink where it shouldn't be or a slight registration error but none of these are very noticeable. Please see photos.

It is a 5 colour, 2 block linocut reduction print of a giant orange flower beetle or Mecynorrhina oberthuri decorata if you prefer to be more scientific. I was attracted to this beetle because of its fabulous markings in complementary orange and blue.

It is encapsulated in a bell jar and held in place by a gold entomology pin.
