Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening Letterpress Broadside
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.– Robert Frost
First published in 1923, this well-known Robert Frost poem is one of our favorites. To make the tree imagery Christy created a pressure printing plate with intricately cut paper. This plate was used to print the background, first in metallic silver and then (with the plate flipped) in a muted violet. Pressure printing created a soft, grainy effect that evokes evening and snow. The poem itself was printed with a slight impression into the paper using a dark purple ink and a polymer plate. Trim size 11 x 14 inches. Packaged in a cellophane sleeve with backing board. Limited edition of 30 signed and number prints. Sold unframed.
