 | Aquatint Signed and numbered from the edition of 75 impressions 14.9 x 22.5 cm (inches: 5¾ x 8¾.) Sidey 67 Plate 11 from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. This publication of Coleridge's poem has twelve aquatints by Procktor. They were inspired by Gustave Doré's illustrations to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Doré Gallery, and Hamilton Adams Co, London 1876), but also include two earlier designs drawn on Procktor's boat journey to South Africa in 1974 (of which this is one), and two portrait studies of Coleridge (frontispiece) and Charles Newington (endpiece). A copy of this series is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York. gg8783 | |
