In printmaking, a "monotype" only ever has a single print, hence they are labelled "1/1". This is due the nature of the printing process: ink is applied (painted, smeared, manipulated) to a piece of plexiglass, a sheet of paper placed over it, and run through the press. The artist never knows exactly what will result.

For this print, whimsical tulips were painted onto the plate with Akua intaglio inks.
