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 plate 8, Discomedusae, of Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), 1904, lithographed by Adolf Giltsch after Haeckel’s drawing. The source impression is in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division (LC-DIG-ds-05316), with no known restrictions on publication. It has been digitally adapted and rendered in sepia for this print. Poem © Pablo Camacho. Relic Nº 018 in the Relics series, Midnight 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.
