Yan tan Tethera
Screenprint – unmounted, unframed
Paper size: 420mm x 300mm
Edition size: 35
Based on the traditional British sheep counting system of Yan Tan Tethera. A base-five counting system, it is ultimately derived from Brythonic celtic and was once prevalent throughout the Kingdom, especially in Wales and northern England.
There are many regional variations - what Paul has shown here is cobbled together from several traditions - namely that used in the Derbyshire Dales, Lincolnshire, Tong valley and Teesdale.
ABOUT OUR ORIGINAL PRINTS
Most of the works we offer are original prints, made using traditional printmaking techniques such as linocut, wood engraving, lithography, screenprint and etching. Each process has its own particular character, from the carved marks of relief printing to the drawn or painterly qualities of lithography and screenprint.
