This book features five drawings by one of Australia’s best known viola da gamba players, with poems written by her partner Alan Loney. Each drawing faces one of the poems, and all are printed in color. While the images are not mere illustrations of the individual poems they face, they nonetheless mirror subtly the tone and intention of the poems as a group. The types are Dante and Civilite, paper is Magnani mould-made damped for printing on an Albion handpress. Cover paper is Khadi handmade and the limp binding is hand-sewn at the Press. Page size 210 x 140mm, 24 pages between covers. 2005.
