Sewn on tapes and pasted into a paper case printed with an original color lithograph by the artist. Edition of 50 press-numbered and five artist's copies, all signed. 35 pp, 2.5 x 3 inches. Issued at C$150. Out of print. The total edition of 55 includes 12 large-paper copies [numbers 1—10 and two artist's copies] with the engravings colored by the artist, and bound in purple limp vellum with a black paper slipcase.
