The Dress - photogravure print - The Weekly EditionI found this dress in a thrift store and have used it many times in my work. Of all the work I made this picture of the back is still my favorite.

I printed an edition of 8 numbered prints and 2 A P prints. Hand pulled print by Ray Bidegain Limited edition of 9 6. 0 x 8. 0 on an 11x15
