Description

In 1964 Lee Mullican did a series of lithographs at Tamarind which evolved into 2 portfolios, "Fables", a suite of 12 lithographs, including a colophon and title page, and "Hungry Ghosts" also a suite of 12 lithographs, also including a colophon and title page.

This image is number eleven (XI) from "Hungry Ghosts" and is a "Printers Proof II", an impression each printer gets as part payment for their assistance.

This work was printed by Bernard Bleha with assistance by the Tamarind Master Printer Kenneth Tyler. The Tamarind printing record shows an edition of 20 plus the usual 9 Tamarind Impressions, a BAT, 2 Printers Proofs (of which this is one), 2 Trial Proofs and 1 Cancellation Proof, for a total edition of 32 total impressions. The blindstamps of both Tamarind and Bernard Bleha are in the lower left corner.
