This hand-printed letterpress and relief print by artist, Christy Nesja, features Robert Frost’s beloved 1923 poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."
The imagery was created with a pressure printing plate made from intricately cut paper. This plate printed metallic silver first, and then it was flopped to print muted violet. The pressure printing technique created soft edges and mottled areas between trees to evoke twilight, blowing snow, and the quiet hush of winter woods. The poem itself was printed in deep purple ink with a subtle impression you can see and feel in the paper.
Hand-cut paper printing plate for tree background
Photopolymer plate used to crisply print the poem
Printed on a human-powered press by the artist
