The Bloody Ford evokes a perilous crossing, a familiar episode in Arthurian romance in which the landscape becomes a setting for danger, choice, and heroic testing. Dalí’s drypoint technique gives the subject vivid graphic immediacy, with the incised line intensifying the scene’s dramatic and psychological charge. Produced in 1975, this impression is numbered 89/249 and hand signed by the artist. The sheet measures 18.9 x 13.8 inches (48 x 35 cm), and the framed dimensions are 24.4 x 20.5 inches (62 x 52 cm). Oeuvres Graphiques Contemporaines/Pamela Verlag, Paris, published the edition, which was printed by Atelier Viglino/Atelier Taille Douce, Paris. The work is catalogued as Field 75-9 J and Michler/Löpsinger 787. Remaining in excellent condition, it combines a dramatic literary theme with strong documentation and the authority of Dalí’s signature.
