Edition Notes

Deluxe edition.

"Designed and printed by Russell Maret. The paper was handmade with two custom watermarks at Velke Losiny, Czech Republic. The type and images were predominantly printed from photopolymer plates with the exception of Iohann Titling, Nicolas, and Lisbon Ornaments which were printed from new foundry type manufactured by Micah Currier at the Dale Guild Type Foundry. The image on the Aeschylus page was drawn directly on the page with candle smoke. The binding was designed and executed by Craig Jensen at Book Lab II"--Colophon.

"Seventy copies were made. Fifty-five copies, numbered 1-50 and AP1-AP5, are bound in quarter leather with paper covered boards printed from foundry Lisbon Ornaments. Fifteen copies, lettered A-O, are bound in full leather using two different skins. They are accompanied by a suite of prints and a form of Iohann Titling type"--Colophon.

LC has copy B, signed by Russell Maret. The 23 sheets are in 4 folders: Horace state proofs (5 sheets), Arthur Rimbaud state proofs (6 sheets), Alexander the Great state proofs (7 sheets), Assorted prints (5 sheets). The case holds a form of Iohann Titling type that reads, Type is something that you can pick up and hold in your hand.
