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 John Hamilton Mortimer’s etching Poet, from his series Twelve Characters from Shakespeare, published May 20, 1775. The source impression is in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (68.510.6, Rogers Fund, 1968), via the museum’s public-domain collection. It has been digitally adapted and rendered in sepia for this print. Poem © Pablo Camacho. Relic Nº 027 in the Relics series, Night Roads 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.
