Purchase “The Scarlet Lettering”, with art by Marian Bantjes, Kate Bingaman-Burt, Ray Fenwick, Ray Frenden, Linzie Hunter, David Huyck, and Nate Williams. A portion of sales will go to The Nature Conservancy.

Note: These prints have two plates – one is inked red, and the other is a “blind deboss”, where a small amount of transparent white ink is added to the plate. The effect is that there is an indentation in the paper for a subtle texture or message, but generally no color. Also, this edition is printed on 2-ply paper to help the blind deboss layer to be a little more visible. This paper costs more than the paper we’ve used in the past, so the edition price is adjusted accordingly.

The set of all seven prints is just $40 $35 through New Year’s, and shipping to the US and Canada is free! (International shipping is just $10.)

There are currently 41 (or fewer) print sets available.
