1977 · 4.5 x 11cm 50 copies hand-printed on the first Five Seasons Stephenson Blake letterpress proofing press.

Ehrhardt still remains a favourite in the Adobe InDesign twenty-first century, along with Jenson and Garamond.) Folded broadside in manila envelope with title printed on flap. Unavailable |
