"The imagery for this edition was initially a painting by Mr. Douglas' which was then translated into a 2 color, letterpress graphic. The pages of the book are a one-sided, accordion fold piece. The folded cover is made of Amate bark with hand-spun hemp and silk thread and letterpress printed in 2 colors with interior colophon page attached"--San Francisco Center for the Book, publisher description.
"The content of my Imprint publication deals with the subject of reparations and slavery with each abstract designed figure chained together making up the word, REPARATIONS"--Artist's statement.
"Published in an edition of 100 signed and numbered copies."--Colophon.
