I found this while tidying.


A poster I made for the English Department Follies. Even more exciting to me than the finished work was this, a step in the process where I glued bits of stippling copied from archived 18th-c. texts to define the edge of one page, and my additional penciled stippling (which you likely can see only by clicking on the photo to enlarge it):

Both of these, I recycled. But I kept a copy of the poster for my files.

this is exquisite! at first glance I thought the woodcut was from ladies' almanack. . . you should write a volume about stippling! I once wrote a short something for wk on a countee cullen poem that ended up being mostly about the black shadow from the gutter left after xeroxing the spreadeagled book, and was actually fond of the result, but now, who knows where it is.
