Boca Raton, FL: Dorothy Simpson Krause, 2015. Softcover. Number 3 of 10 variant copies signed by the book artists. Stephanie Wolff was the current Salzburg Artist in Residence at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts when she and Dorothy Krause, the first Resident, decided to collaborate on this ode to Florida. They used an assortment of vintage documents, maps, photographs and botanicals that were inkjet transferred onto the pages, creating the variability of this edition. Printed on Arches 88 paper. The colophon with a map-like image of Florida was laser printed. They used wood type, a wood engraving and pressure plate printing on the Center’s Vandercook 4 proof press,with ink and blind embossing, and with a polymer plate map of the area. FL has a flutter binding adhered at the fore-edge. The flutter book is a simple structure from the Eastern binding tradition. It's a codex that can act a bit like an accordion since the text block can be gently pulled out from the spine to show multiple pages at one time. Because of this binding structure, the book lends itself to being displayed as a sculptural object. The book is a soft cover, with plant inclusion end papers and a yellow wrapper of handmade paper. In fine condition. Measures 7 x 3.5 inches, Unpaginated [10 pages]. ARTB/051923. Fine.
