Version I: | [no signature] | [no seal] | [no title-caption in lower margin] | (example above) |
Design History:
In wfx2 a silhouette of the entire clerodendron composition of wf35 is used as the background image, and the background itself is left uninked. The overlay image for wfx2 is an entirely new design of an orchid species not represented in the series.
The wfx2 design is printed in three colors: the background silhouette in pale lavender; the overlay silhouette (and accents on the background silhouette) in dull orange; and additional highlights on both in black. The overlay printing is partially translucent, and the underprinted color of the background shows through. These overlapping areas of color demonstrate that both parts were printed as complete (and independent) silhouettes.
Species Illustrated:Overlay: unidentified ground orchid, Bletilla? sp.
