Letterpress prints of the constellations Cygnus the Swan and Orion the Hunter.

These linoleum blocks were hand-carved by Emily Hancock as illustrations for Starlight Behind Daylight, a chapbook of poems by National Book Award Winner Arthur Sze. The carvings are based on star charts of the International Astronomical Union and printed on Mohawk Double Crown paper. Prints measure approximately 7.5” x 10” (unframed) and are signed by the artist.
