It's hard to capture the detail of both the blind embossing print and the regular intaglio in an image.

The story behind this print is sort of a sad one.
I found the swallow lying like this in my attic. Lost, captured, behind a small glas window.
The way out was not that window, but down a dark stairs.

I pictured it as I found it, using a pinhole lens.
The blind print is a short poem I made.
