Why It Matters
The Jaunt sends artists on trips to inspire new work, so this print carries a documented origin story tied to Peterson's engagement with Greek philosophy and antiquity. The second edition exists specifically because demand outstripped the first, a rare public marker of desirability. At just 50 impressions on black paper, it is one of his most contained releases.
Collector Perspective
The unusual backstory—a same-image reissue prompted by an instant sellout—adds collector interest, and the black-paper colorway visibly distinguishes this second edition from the first. At only 50 signed prints and tied to a respected travel-based project, supply is genuinely limited. The larger 70 x 50 cm format gives it wall presence.
Historical Context
Published in 2015 by The Jaunt, the print reflects Peterson's stated interest in Greek philosophy and literature, filtering classical themes of conflict through his contemporary lens. The Jaunt's model of funding artist travel and editioning the resulting work situates the piece within a specific collaborative and documentary framework.
