A small book about war, looting, memory, and beauty. Peter's evocative text inspired a series of etchings. The drypoints were edittioned with the assistence of Caitlin 'Cat' Glennon at Pratt. The prints were further modified with rubber stamps, collage, and poncing wheel. The papers are Khadi and Matte, with gold covered burlap wrappers over the boards. Mark Wagner set the type that was printed on the Vandercook Simple Precision-15 overlooking the east river estuary. Most of the edition was given away to friends and family.
