"Street Life in London by John Thompson, photographer, and Adolphe Smith, writer, is the basis of the Street Life in London Redeemed. The original was published in 1878 and was a major publication that used the Woodburytype process. The Nag Hammadi library was translated into English in 1975, and contained more information than known of before about the gnostics' world view and their blend of Platonic knowledge and Christo-Judaic understanding of the world. Prior to this knowledge of gnosis was mostly limited to what its detractors wrote. Both Pistis Sophia and Jaldaboath are characters from the Nag Hammadi library. It is published by The Center for Book Arts in the summer of 2003 and printed by the artist during their Sally R. Bishop fellowship with the help from Robin Ha, Katherine Perez, Gretchen Winger, and Jessica Levine."--Colophon.
