Henry Wilkinson\'s engravings and dry-point studies of dogs have become much sought after since his sad passing in 2011. This study of a Black Labrador Retriever rising a Snipe in a marshy landscape. I have been dealing in Henry Wilkinson\'s works for over 30 years and can guarantee this items authenticity and that it is a genuine item.

I have just the one in stock which is a nice low number being 8/250.

\"Henry Wilkinson is probably the last remaining link with the great artist/engraver/painters of Canine Editions of the past. Now well into his 80\'s, Henry Wilkinson works alone in his studio workshop in rural Kent, where he produces his Canine Editions by the highly skilled process of \'Dry-Point\' and \'Line Engraving\'. He prints all his own plates, still by the traditional method of hand \'pulling\' each plate on an antique printing press. All Editions are printed on hand-made, 100% linen rag paper, then after printing, are hand finished. Because of the process used, the run for each of the published Editions (please don\'t call them \'prints\'!) are very small (only 250 or less). Each Edition is hand signed and numbered by Henry Wilkinson personally and after an Edition is complete, the engraved printing plate is destroyed, ensuring that no further copies can be produced. In the early 1990\'s I had the honour of being granted a rare interview with the great man and what an amazing character he is! Now at the end of a long and much-underappreciated career, my advice is to buy a work by Wilkinson now, whilst they are still available!\"

I am sad to report that Henry Wilkinson passed away on January 11th 2011.
