This book consists of Xerox prints in various sizes of family postcards. The prints are hand colored with prismacolor and watercolor on mylar and Saunders Waterford paper. This book is considered one of the first artists' books that Laura Wait had executed. From the artist: "In January of 1994 my husband, Bob, and I purchased a Xerox machine for our design business. This machine could enlarge & decrease images, print on several sizes . and had a photo setting to translate images without turning them entirely black. I have been collecting postcards since I was five. I pulled them out and vaguely started sorting them into categories. I had an idea that I might want to do a book with them using our new machin. Eventually I started looking at the ones that were really interesting to me- the family postcards. Somehow I got the idea a week or so later that I should make a chronicle." unique full leather cover design, with blind and gold tooling using pigment and foil coloring, clamshell box with title label on spine.

Hardcover. Unique. Unique. Hardcover. One of 5 unique manuscripts with mixed media, calligraphy/mss, and painting, celebrating the four elements. The angel, lion, ox, and eagle are also part of the symbolism. "Word forms as image are the primary focus of my art. Words and symbols, used as marks, are layered on paintings to form a wall of history with meaning at each depth. Aesthetics of words and symbols is of more importance than reading the text, and indeed most of the words I use are totally illegible. I believe man has an intuitive connection to marks, and there is worldwide use of similar mark forms from prehistoric times. Symbolism has interested me since I was young, and for a long time I incorporated world iconography and the meanings of four and into my art. This led to study of fertility symbols, conjoined with a study of tree symbolism. . Nothing is quite concrete, and my work is very intuitive. My work is an affirmation of the human spirit and the mark of the hand. In our modern world, which is growing smaller, the influences of the computer are everywhere. Handwriting is an antidote to that, and connects strongly with people today." [artist statement]. Tight, bright, and unmarred.
