Item description from seller

Folio 360mm x 240mm. 30pp. Illustrated, paper-covered boards in excellent condition. Limited edition 3000 copies silkscreen printed and bound by hand at Tara Books India print workshop. Much of the German poet Morgenstern's [1871-1914] poetry was inspired by the English literary 'nonsense' tradition. His poem 'In the Land of Punctuation' is printed here in both the German original and English. Although humorous it is not simply a jeu d'esprit taking punctuation marks as it's subject. Underlying there is satire too on war and authoritarian political systems. The illustrator, Ramanathan's work incorporates graphic styles referencing Constructivism and Soviet art forms. A sumptuous printing production.
