This is one of David Shepherd's 'Gold Collection'; Started in 1992 with 'Cheetah'
A silkscreen was produced once a year, the edition size was always kept to a minimum, and
due to the 'hands-on' process of printing, no two copies are exactly the same.
The silkscreens can perhaps be regarded as being somewhere between a signed,
limited edition print and an original painting.
In 1992, David began a series called the 'Gold Editions' which were high quality produced silkscreen prints, giving much deeper and richer colours
than a usual photo lithograph print. Published on high quality water colour paper and a low edition run of between 200 to 495 prints.
One silkscreen was published each year from 1992 begining with 'Cheetah'
