Description: "A list of names, printed on thin, translucent paper, taken from Picpus cemetery where the victims of the French Revolution lay buried. Each name is accompanied by the person's occupation and age, followed by the date of death, which falls on one of three days in early summer. With its thin pages, hard cloth-bound cover and ribboned page holder, Picpus is like a pocket-sized prayer book."--Printed Matter website.
