Octavo. 32ff. This colorful, multi-layered book was created by printing text and illustrations on interspersed Strathmore Esprit paper and drafting vellum, requiring 74 letterpress runs on a Vandercook and 36 runs of silkscreen. Taking advantage of the semitransparent layers, Faulkes used creative type design to change and enhance the opaque silkscreen illustrations of wildflowers that peek through from below. Faulkes is a Professor of Design at West Virginia University and funded this project through a West Virginia University Senate Grant. A fine copy bound in oatmeal cloth with onlays of green cloth leaves and a printed paper label on the upper cover.
