Roman Baths

14 x 10 cm

Wood engraving

The Roman Baths were built on a hot spring, where naturally-heated water rises to the surface in Bath. A temple and baths were constructed on the site around 70AD. The baths provided a grand bathing and socialising complex in the first few decades of Roman Britain and the city, then known as Aquae Sulis, grew around this centre.

These prints are original wood engravings. I engrave on boxwood or lemon wood blocks using traditional hand tools. Then I ink up the block and print the edition one at a time. Each print is an original artist print.

No. of prints in edition: 200
