Much maligned and not everyone's favourite bird but an absolute gift for a printmaker. Given the subject matter probably not my most saleable print.

1st Proof
A more experienced engraver than myself would have known not to bother taking a proof from the plate at this stage. I still find it hard to look at the image engraved on the plate and judge how it will look on paper. A mezzotint plate always looks more finished than it really prints.
