Edition Notes
The story of Welsh-speaking farmers evicted from their homes in the Epynt mountain region in 1940 so that their land could be used as an army firing range.
Title from box. Place of publication from British Library catalog. Colophon and prints signed: 2002.
"I have ... overprinted the names of fifty of the farms on a pull-out mezzotint ... My verbal & visual evocations are enclosed in paper, custom-made by Maureen Richardson, using the red earth of the Epynt. Six landscapes using etching & mezzotint are interleaved with handmade Unryu tissue. I printed the images on Somerset mouldmade paper, along with the text, set at Gwasg Gregynog, in 14 point Baskerville typeface. The edition is limited to 40 copies, enclosed in book-form boxes by John Sewell. The box opens out to a triptych in which the text is presented as a booklet, 9 by 8 inches; the 28-inch long mezzotint concertinas to the same size. Each lies in a recess in the box lids; in the centre tray lie the 15 by 11 inch landscapes. Shirley Jones, Red Hen Press" -- Advertisement laid in.
LC has copy no. 2, signed by the author/artist.
