Linocut Print - 13" x 9 1/2" Block Print - DRAGON TREES PRINT - Black order & White Landscape Art

Linoblock print of a group of Dracaena draco also called Dragon Trees.

Edition of 20. Eight remaining.

The name of these beautiful succulent trees comes from the Greek Hercules myth. One of Hercules' labours was to bring back three golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides, which was guarded by the hundred headed dragon Landon.When Hercules killed the dragon his blood flowed out order all over the land and wherever it went, dragon trees sprouted.

The sap of the tree is red - hence - 'dragon's blood'.

Image size: 8"x11"/28 x 20cm
Paper size: 13"x10"/33 x 25cm (fits in a standard 16"x20"/31x41 cm frame))
Signed and numbered on the front

I cut all of my blocks by hand and each print is hand printed individually using a bamboo ladle. Due to the hand printing process there are small variations from print to print. I use cream coloured archival BFK Rives paper and light fast Daniel Smith inks.

I do combine shipping on multiple purchases.

This print will be sandwiched in cardboard which is tucked into a bubble mailer for safe transport.
