Etchings

Etchings by Jerry Garcia

Etchings by Jerry Garcia are rare and valuable. Unlike lithographic prints, which are mechanically reproduced, an etching is created by the artist drawing or scratching with a graver directly on the metal plate from which the prints are struck. The artist's work is reversed when the image is printed. Having to sign his name backwards was a new requirement for Jerry and took a bit of getting used to, hence the backward "J" in the plate signature of "Fish", for example. Each print is hand inked and individually pulled. All etchings were hand-drawn by Jerry Garcia on zinc plates prepared by Roberta Weir and editioned by Weir Gallery. All our etchings come with Certificate of Authenticity.
