"There are five posters pasted underneath a skylight in the Architecture and Design (formerly Architecture and Art) building at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Each bears a protest slogan from 1968 ... They were printed from wood and metal type in the building's type shop sometime between September 1968, when the building opened, and August 1970, when Huey Newton was released from prison ... A sixth poster ... has been almost completely removed; only tiny fragments and a ghost of its outline remains. This print portfolio contains photographs of the five extant posters at actual size, together with modern reprints using the same fonts of type and in some cases, the same pieces of type. For two posters, not enough type remained in the shop to reset them completely. In those cases, the bottom of another piece of type of the same width was printed in place of the missing one"--Page 5.

"This print portfolio and booklet was produced in the UIC School of Design Print Lab. The posters were reset and printed by Daniel Mellis and Brent Hurlbert. Andrew Kunk cut the wedges used to reprint Up against the wall. Photographs of the original letterpress posters were taken by Daniel Mellis and were printed on an Epson SureColor P7000. This booklet was designed by Brent Hurlbert and Daniel Mellis. The type for the portfolio label and title page was set by Adrian Politzer. Images of the silkscreen posters were supplied by John Kabot, Poster Plus, and Ted Ringenbach; the photographs are from Allen Pier"--Colophon.
