How it works

Register

Written and illustrated by Ulrich Schwanecke, who writes: "This is not a book but a series of original graphics. The accompanying words are pertaining thereto. The series is signed, numbered and limited to one hundred copies. Linocuts printed by the artist's proof studio. Letterpress text printed by the artist's press. Binding by Hugh Berrow."

This copy is numbered and signed by the artist in Johannesburg. On the front free endpaper is a dedication "To dear Moira. In recognition of many hours of harmonious art business. Ulrich. 1 Sept 98".

Maroon simulated leather boards with gilt design and lettering to the front and spine. 36 unnumbered pp, including 19 illustrations, printed on heavy cartridge paper.

There is what appears to be the remains of a small label in the upper area of the front board. The covers are otherwise fine, as are the contents.
