This incredible piece shows, once again, Booth's genius as a pen and ink artist. The detail is amazing, the symmetry perfection, and the figural images sublime. So well done, that the art appears three dimensional. Art was published as Plate #1 in the well known Franklin Booth "Sixty Reproductions" book published in 1925. Huge thanks go to Leigh and Neil Mechem, of Girasol Collectibles fame, for letting this piece go after caring for it for so long.

Nice pick up Ben, Booth's work is really sublime. Someday we have to meet up so I can see some of these pieces in person!
