Samuel Palmer is a 1956 by Leonard Baskin, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print brings back a portrait of Samuel Palmer. Leonard Baskin made it in 1956 using wood engraving, a fine-art twist on woodcut. Baskin started from an old pencil-and-watercolor sketch of Palmer, then turned it into a bold woodcut. The print is a signed single sheet from Baskin’s book “Blake and the Young Ancients,” honoring followers of William Blake. Check out more prints by Baskin at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
