Description

Bob Frisch, a Yukon naturalist and renowned birder. Based on a photo by Paul Von Baich.

This is my first serious attempt at copper engraving in the early 1980s. I was trying to channel my hero Albrecht Durer and his engraving of St. Christopher crossing the river with a cherub on his shoulder. I think I managed a modest success except for a few anatomical question marks.
