A highly decorative subject, Cinerarias is one of Preston’s less frequently seen floral woodcuts. With only one recorded auction appearance in the past three decades, impressions are tightly held in both private and public collections. Its rarity is matched by its sophisticated use of layered colour, making it especially sought after by advanced Preston collectors.
