Each leaf has also letterpress line numbering at left margin, counting from 5 to 35 by fives. Blank folded sheet of light blue paper at beginning and at end. Glassine guard sheets laid in.
• "An intermediate part of four texts [divides] a [sequence] of two times six copper engravings in two parts. The forms of the second part [are] a relaunch of the first. They follow a sort of figuration without any specific significance. Analogically the text is a description without a concrete content ... The composition of the double spread follows the middle axis. The fold however is apart [from] this axis of symmetry"--Artist's Web site, retrieved Feb. 15, 2011.
