A Fairly Natural History Alphabet

About the Book

A Fairly Natural History Alphabet is a collection of prints depicting Animal’s, Bird’s, Tree’s, Marine life and Insect’s; many of which are endangered. The process starts by first screen printing the background. The images are then cut from either lino or wood and then hand printed using a converted Victorian washing mangle. The aim of the book is to raise awareness and interest in wildlife and our natural world. The prints in the book are all limited editions and can be purchase as original works of art.
