Etching C. 1970. Pencil signed in the lower right, pencil numbered in the lower left, 170 in an edition of 200. Published by the Gehenna Press, Northampton, MA. Part of a series of 12 etchings inspired by the Shakespeare play Titus Andronicus. Catalog: Fern and O'Sullivan, 589. Plate measures 12 3/4 x 7 3/4 on 18 x 13 1/2 inch wove type paper with deckled edges. This print depicts the metamorphosis of man into bird, one of Baskin's recurring themes. His birdmen were inspired by those of Hieronymus Bosch and his religious background: they were considered a metaphor for spiritual insight.
