Send Message: To this poster

There is a proofing press available for the picking up in
Binghamton, New York. These presses are effective for type high
linocuts, wood engravings and woodblocks.

The press drum in the photo needs to be lifted, turned, and
placed into the tracks to operate it. You would hand ink your
block, but you will pull a good print!

This press is listed at Briarpress.org and contact information
is listed there. (I have nothing to do with the sale of this
press, but it would be a terrific press for a relief printmaker!)

Best wishes,
Sharen

Utagawa Hiroshige Prints up for Auction.

Sotheby's Auction in Amsterdam tomorrow Monday 22nd May there will be
an auction of
1. a boxed set of 70 prints by Hiroshige 11....... Utagawa Hiroshige
son-in -law and protege of the famous Hiroshige (1)
and
2. an album of the 53 Stations of the Tokaido by Hiroshige 1

The auction house estimates it will get $35,000 - $43,000AUS for the
boxed set and $12.000 - $14,000AUS for the album, but David Forrest of
Gallery East here in Perth and a friend estimates they will sell for at
least $2000 a print and much more.

check out the Southeby's site:

I have bought a couple of prints through David but I am afraid I won't
be bidding for these this time.
Good luck to any of you who do.
