This print comes from Haydn Mackey’s small but colorful set of handmade proofs. It’s part of a group of linocuts and woodcuts he made mostly for covers and posters. Mackey fooled the eye by painting colors on the back of tracing paper, not the front. The paint soaked through just enough to look like ink. If you like this trick, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
