  • "The portraits in this portfolio are linocuts done by Bill Jackson (several from photos by Jim Yarnell), who also threw the words together (in the face of many objections by friends who deplore the words!). The paper is Torino, the ink is just ink, and there are fifteen 'specials' with beautiful paper from the Twinrocker Paper Mill. The common issue is covered with Rives. This publication from the Groundhog Press was printed in an edition of fifty copies" -- colophon.
Binding (note)
