SHIPPING & RETURNS

Each Relic is made when you order it, then shipped flat or rolled with tracking. Because prints are made to order, I can’t accept change-of-mind returns. If yours arrives damaged or misprinted, contact me, and I’ll make it right.

PROVENANCE

The illustration is adapted from The Lovers (Paolo and Francesca), a wood engraving by Stéphane Pannemaker after Gustave Doré, from Doré’s illustrations to Dante’s Inferno (first published 1861), in the edition translated by Henry Francis Cary. The source impression is in the Pitts Theology Library, Emory University (1866Dant), via its public-domain Digital Image Archive. It has been digitally adapted and rendered in sepia for this print. Poem © Pablo Camacho. Relic Nº 023 in the Relics series, The Small Hours collection.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Why a Relic?

Each Relic treats a single poem like an artifact recovered from an old archive. It’s paired with a digitally adapted antique illustration, numbered and finished with a colophon and my seal. Each print is made to order on textured fine-art paper. The number marks its place in a growing collection, organized by the hours of the night.
