About this Item
An unnumbered copy of this scarce work, 300 copies are numbered, this one is unnumbered. Consists of 25 b&w and color plates of photo offset lithography, designed by one of the best known Brazilian graphic designers, Aloísio Magalhães.

The prints were made using a variety of processes, from a contact print of a palm leaf, to photographs, roller impressions, drawings of film with opaque inks and drawings on aluminum foil. Tall 4to, [25] pp. Printed color stiff paper wrappers. OCLC: 19700291. Seller Inventory # 24837
