[Broadside] From Finland

[Janus Press] Haswell, Judith

Edité par Janus Press, Newark, VT, 1997

Broadside. 19-1/2" x 15-1/2." Limited edition, one of 100 copies. Haswell's poem is handset in 12 pt Century Schoolbook and printed in black on Barcham Green Royal Watercolour Society paper. Woven "rag rug" of paper offcuts primarily from previous Janus Press books. This from the printer's archive, it was once framed for an exhibition and there are small tabs on the verso; very light toning to the deckle. A near fine copy otherwise. A very nice broadside with Haswell's evocative poem depicted by Van Vliet's use of nearly 20 papers, woven into the sheet with thread. And where Haswell's poem speaks to weaving in the various histories of the fabric in her woven mat about which she writes, Van Vliet literally does weave these histories into this broadside with paper from books (each identified by Ruth in her bibliography of the work of the Janus Press) that span nearly a decade. A wonderful poem beautifully printed and embellished. Ruth Fine, Janus Press ? Fifty Years, p.54. N° de réf. du vendeur 10881
