- "This artist's book was made by Jessie Reich at Wells College in 2013. It was created using screenprinting and letterpress printing techniques on Polar White and Black Stonehenge printmaking paper ... The edition was bound by the artist at the Wells Book Arts Center in Aurora, New York, using a drum-leaf binding."--Colophon.
- "... Despite her incredible legacy, Harriet Tubman remains woefully under appreciated in the town she chose to call her home for the last years of her remarkable life. She is celebrated nationally and even globally, and yet in Auburn, she is practically ignored. ... I felt compelled to make an artist's book about Tubman and her legacy in Auburn."--Page [4].
- Letterpress and screen printed leaves attached at foreedge and bottom edge to create a pocket for 5 inserted screen prints.
