    12/13 COPIES (from an edition of 18 copies) printed on Lana Royal Crown 220 gsm paper and signed by Susan Allix, 12 illustrations in different media, the majority either colour-printed or hand-coloured: woodcut, linocut, etching, pen & ink, gouache, the frontispiece signed by the artist in pencil, title-page printed in sandy brown and sea-green, the pen and ink drawing with some tiny spots, use of different papers with apertures, pp. [40], oblong 8vo, original quarter teal morocco, onlay of mid-blue morocco lettered in blue, white cloth sides, with a tidal wash in different shades of blue to inner margins, a couple of faint handling marks at head, in a white with blue stripes drawstring beach-bag, one tie with shells attached, pocket to front enclosing card bearing title, very good. A seaside story, whose textual component has been eroded to leave only punctuation - allowing each reader to either add their own verbal component, or enjoy the artist's visual response to the coast in near-silence. It is a companion-work to Allix's most recent book, 'Shoreline', wherein the images evoking the landscape are accompanied by the quiet-audio element of pebbles held within the binding.

Der Text", der ausser dem zweifarbigen Titel sowie dem Impressum nur aus Satzzeichen besteht in 18 Pt. Plantin. Blauer vord. Büttenvorsatz u. ein schwarzes Zwischenblatt mit ausgeschnittenem Fernglas"-Fenster. An incident by the sea forms the subject of this book. A visual description in both brilliant colour and black and white, using a variety of graphic methods, creates a mood of open-air drama and seaside activity. Only the punctuation is printed, so the reader may introduce his own words and conversations, to fit a personal interpretation of the happenings. In this way together with the visual texts, the imaginative force of a traditional book is reversed." (S.Allix). Druckvermerk von der Künstlerin signiert. Makelloses Exemplar dieses äusserst originellen Künstlerbuches. Sprache: en.
