Description
This a fully inked preliminary which I bought directly from Brian. Size is like most Bolland prelims, 1:1 or same size as printed book. Like other prelims it is on a vellum like paper. Gorgeous!

Again - just a great piece! Do you know, was it inked at the time, or did Brian apply inks at a later point (well after publication) ?

If my finished works had been as good as Brian Bolland's preliminaries, perhaps I wouldn't have left the art institute and gone into logistics!  Beautiful page.
