"The color prints were printed directly onto Japan paper from hand-cut plates or from make-ready impressions. The diagrams that follow each color print were done by a multilith process and are made directly from the make-ready impressions, or direct impressions, as the case may be." The author covers the procedures used to produce the specific plates in the book and the plates themselves and then follows with sections about each specific print: Still Life, Dark Accents, Arrangement, Composition, Two Birds, and Two Discs. Also included is a section on materials and an explanation of diagrams. All of the color prints in this book were printed directly from hand-cut plates or from make-ready impressions. They were done on Japanese paper. The diagrams that follow each color print were done by a multilith process and are made directly from the make-ready impressions, or direct impressions as the case may be."--Colophon.
