Summary
This group of prints relates to walks Fulton made in the Cairngorms Mountains in the north of Scotland, the last true wilderness in the British Isles. The images are taken from the artist’s notes and photographs and draw upon his feelings and experiences of the landscape and wildlife.
The works were published in 1993 by Charles Booth-Clibborn under his imprint The Paragon press and printed by Coriander (London) Ltd in an edition of 35.

Edition
All copies of a book, print, portfolio, sculpture, etc., issued or produced at one time or from a single set of type. Printed works can be made in an edition of between one and many thousands of copies. With most printing techniques the plate or screen will become worn if very many prints are made, so to maintain quality (and exclusivity) editions of original prints are usually kept below one hundred copies and normally average between thirty and fifty copies. Prints made up of several different plates can be extremely complicated and time-consuming to edition, so in these cases editions are kept low for practical reasons. Sculptural editions are a set of cast sculptures taken from the same mould or master. These editions are usually much lower, consisting of no more than six casts. Though each cast in an edition might have a lower value than a unique piece, it may be a more effective way of offsetting costs of an expensive process such as bronze casting.
