"[Avadenka] created a series of collages, from maps included in a 1910 Baedeker guide to southern Germany ... The lithographs, created to accompany the poems and based on the original collages, were printed on waran-shi paper and then hand-colored with gouache. Centaur, David and Optima types were printed letterpress from photopolymer plates on Magnani grey paper. Printed by Lynne Avadenka at Land Marks Press, Huntington Woods, Michigan, in the summer of 2007"--Colophon.
