About this artwork

Thistle-Seed-In-The-Wind

The thistle engraving was commissioned by David Borbeau, artist, bookbinder, and owner of the Thistle Bindery. As David told the story, Baskin had hastily promised him a wood engraving as repayment for a favor even though he had stopped doing engravings years before. Regretting his promise and after may attempts to get out of it, under David’s insistence, Baskin inevitably relented and produced this wonderful thistle for David’s broadside to go with Robert Francis’s poem.
