Limited edition, 19 of 50. 150x120mm. Unpaginated. pp.20. The text is printed in red from the Kleweta's calligraphy. Illustrated with six coloured engravings including one on the title page and line drawings in the text.

He settled in France in 1976 and adopted the name Raphaël Augustinus Kleweta. His principal work was in ornamental design but he was a fine engraver and printer.
