"Limited edition book, 18 copies. I've finished the first copies of my new edition 'Wanderlust,' a tribute to my Father. I made prints from drawings he made when he was a soldier in the 50's (the map of Europe and the Panama Canal). The other pages are drawn using silverpoint, ink and gold leaf. I made a paper copy of a farthing, a coin in his collection that I have alwasy loved. It sits in the box made by Erin Fletcher of Herringbone Bindery. The prints were done by Rob Charlton at Goosefish Press"--Artist's website, viewed 31 March 2017., "Panama Canal and map of Europe by George Davidson, circa 1950"--Colophon., Artist's book., Artist's father was age 86 at time of book creation.
