Description

The GN Vitesse (Godfrey & Nash) is a lightweight cyclecar produced in the early 1920s. It has 1.1-liter V-twin engine and is chain driven. I’ve seen this car in action many times in vintage sports car races.

• Relief printed* Japanese HoSho paper
• Size is 19 x 28 cm
• Each print is numbered and signed by Steve Goodwin
• Certificate of Authenticity
• Prints can be supplied framed or unframed.

Frames are solid wood, 20mm wide, 33mm deep and supplied with a hanging kit. Frames can be natural wood (light), white or black.

*Relief printing is a method where the image is drawn (backwards) on a smooth block of material (in my case vinyl), and the non-printing part of the image is carved away. The surface of the block is inked and transferred to paper. I use a hand cranked press which has a flatbed that passes between two rollers. Each colour in an image is a separate carving.
