Description:
|
Book is a double-sided continuous sheet folded accordion style and enclosed within its own folder. Colophon: "... a reimagining of the biblical story of Queen Esther and that of Scheherazade of A Thousand and One Nights. Lynne Avadenka wrote the text, designed the book structure and created the original drawings, using gouache, powdered graphite and letterpress printing." Colophon: "This book was printed under the direction of Lori Spencer at the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts, at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on a Kors Heidelberg offset litho press, using Centaur and Legende types on dulcet 80# cover paper. Linda Lembke of the Green River Bindery in Guilford, Vermont, bound the edition. Liz Felfusa provided invaluable technical assistance." Land Marks Press: "The book structure reinforces the never-ending, always mutable nature of storytelling, and the narrative is printed on tabbed pages that weave their way through the evocative imagery printed on the accompanying page spreads."
