Production notes

Printer's Notes: "The inspiration for this image began as a collage of photographs with a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci. The collage was photocopied and transferred with turpentine onto the stone. Ruth drew the image of the cloth directly onto the stone with lithographic crayon. The falling boy was subsequently scratched back into the black of the photocopied image. Fluorescent ink was combined with black and the image was inked as a blend roll onto white Rives BFK". Stones Fruits catalogue, 1998
