The Forest Has Eyes

Three things share this title: the 1984 signed and numbered edition of 8,544; a small unsigned plate, about 14 × 7 inches, from the 1986 portfolio Where Silence Speaks; and a 1998 children’s picture book.^4,1,8

One resale copy is described as coming with its collector card or certificate and the original folder.⁶

Bev Doolittle prints in general

The Greenwich Workshop says each of its fine art edition prints is signed by the artist and then numbered consecutively, and that a certificate of authenticity accompanies each edition.^9,10

Dealers describe Doolittle’s classic paper editions as signed and numbered, and one specifies pencil. The number is written as the copy number over the edition size: one dealer’s copy of Season of the Eagle is recorded as 33032/36548.^11,12,13

Small unsigned versions of several pictures exist. The 1986 portfolio Where Silence Speaks reproduced sixteen of her pictures as small plates, among them The Forest Has Eyes, Let My Spirit Soar, Unknown Presence and Woodland Encounter. A dealer who sells them says they are not signed or numbered and are smaller than the original limited editions. Dealers list them with the words “From Where Silence Speaks” or “WSS”.^14,15,7
