Item details

This beautiful letterpress print 'distills' the lyrics of Patti Smith's debut album, 'Horses' into a striking typographic artwork using the same condensed Helvetica font that appears on the cover of her classic album. The print is made using 100% recycled pure white heavyweight card stock and printed with jet black ink. It is one of a strictly limited edition of 200 and every print is individually number stamped.

Patti Smith is a woman of many talents. Musician, artist, rock star, political activist, photographer, author…. all of these titles can be applied to her. It is perhaps as a poet though that Patti herself would most like to be recognised. Her artistic inspiration coming from the likes of Rimbaud and William Blake and indeed her life on stage actually began as a performing poet at the famed Poetry Project at St Marks Church in New York in the early 1970's. So for our 'Poets Collection' we just had to make a print in honour of the amazing Ms Smith.

Our prints are made in Rye, East Sussex, using a vintage Heidelberg Cylinder Letterpress. The rich colours and deep impression of the type into the paper are unique characteristics of this traditional process.

Please note, the frame shown in the photographs is for illustration purposes only and not included in the sale. Prints will fit into a standard A3 (approx. 12x16) sized frame.

All prints are shipped in sturdy extra wide poster tubes to avoid curling.

Please see my shop for more prints.

This print forms part of my "Poets Collection" of letterpress prints that honours three of the most original and celebrated 'poets' of the music world, namely Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith and Nick Drake.

Each of these artists have produced a body of work that reveals a unique and individual voice that sets them apart from the vast majority of songwriters. These are the kind of artists that lead where others follow, those who inspire their contemporaries and the generations to come, the kind of artists that most others can only aspire to be.

The 'distilled' letterpress prints I make draw their inspiration from the words of songs and albums by many of the musicians I love to listen to. I think though, that this is my favourite collection yet, as not only are they three of my most cherished artists, but they are also three of the greatest, that modern music has ever produced.
