Florence Portfolio

The Florence Portfolio is a suite of 20 intaglio works printed in editions of 50 on 22” x 30” paper.

The plates for the Florence Portfolio, a collaborative project sponsored by the CIVA organization on the theme of sacrifice in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, were created in Santa Reparata Graphic Art Centre in Florence, Italy.

The editions were printed by Normal Editions Workshop, Illinois State University, Normal, IL under the direction of Richard Finch. The handmade paper for the project was created by Meda Rives and Veda Rives, Mirror Image Press, Virden, Illinois.
