artists' books, letterpress printing, linocuts, photogravures
Edition of 12. Quarter bound book with a linocut illustration on front cover. Book is printed on Somerset paper and consists of letterpress printed text and 26 copper plate photogravures (printed recto/verso). According to the artist's Preface, the first image may likely be of workers performing an emergency evacuation of books from the Duomo following massive flooding (in 1966); the second image in the book is of the Centrale Termica of the Santa Maria Novella Train Station in Florence. The subsequent images in the book are of street scenes in Rio de Janerio.
