Notes
"This folio of outstanding prints is the consequence of an experiment on the part of two artists who were interested in seeing the results of working together within the limits of a small circular linoleum block. The 42 resultant works are unique representations of the various people, places and things with which the artists came in contact while engaged in this project. Rick Barton is a well-known master of calligraphic line painting. ... David Nelson, likewise a skilled artist and craftsman, became interested in Barton's approach to painting, and joined with him in creating this remarkable portfolio."
Printed on Curtis Rag paper; illustrated with one of Barton's linocuts from the book.
