“Exit Billy d’Lyons” draws on the 1895 saloon shooting between Billy Lyons and “Stag” Lee Shelton in St. Louis—a violent encounter that later entered American folklore and inspired the famous ballad “Stagger Lee.” Wolff reimagines this mythic moment as a theatrical tableau, using expressive etching and aquatint to heighten its drama and symbolic intensity.
