New Year and the last print of the old year.
Engraved in the days following Christmas and printed on New Years Eve this is my last print of the old year. Almost 40 years after I made my first, I've finally got around to making my second Wood Engraving.
Dating from around the 10th or 11th Century this Saxon wheel head cross stands on the edge of the Calder Valley high above Todmorden. It's location lies close to an ancient pathway and later pack horse route over the moors between Lancashire and Yorkshire.
