A black-and-white linocut, Relics, by Hale Woodruff, printed at Bob Blackburn’s Printmaking Shop in New York City, 1996. The print depicts an emaciated donkey outside of a dilapidated wooden barn. The donkey wears a yoke and harness, and a ladder rests against the hayloft window on the front of the barn, beneath the sagging roof. In the bottom margins is the edition, [78/100] at left and [© Hale Woodruff] at right. There are no markings on the reverse of the sheet.
