The Watercolour Collage

This is a unique collage made with original 19th century engravings cut from Victorian books and magazines, so it’s between 120 and 140 years old. I've made it with traditional methods using scissors, scalpels and archival glue. I've been influenced by the collages of Max Ernst, and I've explored the same techniques that Ernst used when creating what has been called the first graphic novel "Une Semaine De Bonté", a surrealistic novel in collage.
