I have to confess I had never heard of Reverse Glass Prints before this one crossed our path this week. From research copies of this engraving sit within the Library of Congress and The Met so we can deem it notable on many levels.
Now there’s a thing (and one of the most devilishly difficult works to photograph well this year) so best come take a peek – At Griffin Mill this week
