This print was one of a set of 13 etchings produced by Davie at Edinburgh Printmakers in 2001. At the time he was visiting Edinburgh regularly to oversee the production of his tapestry for the University of Edinburgh being woven at Dovecot weavers. He created this set of works with technical assistance from Alfons Bytautas, Senior Etching Technician at Edinburgh Printmakers. Enhancing the graphic quality of his characteristic symbolism, the etchings were printed with the addition of a fine chine-collé of silk paper.
