Partridge
(Typographical Error Nos. 1 and 2)
Linoleum reduction block print inspired by a Lucienne Day textile design. The text is 18 pt. Melior Bold and 10 pt. Palatino handset metal types. The text says (in French) “This is not a bird from “The Partridge Family.” There are two typographical errors in the translation, which were noticed after printing the title. So I decided to acknowledge them with the subtitle. The heavier text is better balanced by the lighter capitals, which also function as an extention of the texture in the illustration.
Edition of 35. $20.00
