Akeley Archive 239.1Description
This print is a color print of a chicken or rooster in various colors of red, black and various blue hues. The block has excess amounts of ink printed on it at once. This print seems to be a reduction print due to the various varieties of ink printed on with different opacities and textures. This print could also be a reduction print due to the red borders peeking out from the sides of the border itself. The darkest shade of black or blue is printed last due to the attachment of the ink to the page.Type of Print
