Pharaoh - this print
depicts a four-way hit that was originally issued circa 1983. Iso
series*.
Mark's remarks: Following
the King Tut show this was probably the most popular of the Egyptian
revival pieces.
* Iso
Series, when a perfed print has been "dipped" there
remains on the paper a chemical residue that appears as a brownish
stain after the paper has aged and been exposed to daylight. We use
the term Iso Series to distinguish between these chemically
stained examples from McCloud's collection and the items that have
never been "dipped". The Iso Series prints feature
this staining and the effect it has had on the inks and pulp of the
paper in high, photographic detail - stunning.
