Six full spread woodcuts illustrate the book, along with collographs on
alternating pages. The text of the book is an alternate story of Adam and
Eve, written by the artist and printed with wood type on a Takach etching
press using Akua-color. The pages are also toned by hand-coloring.
The binding is sewn on a concertina with green linen thread. The cover is
a simplified style binding with a green leather spine stamped in gold
and wood boards, covered in rubbings made from the woodcuts.
With box made by Priscilla Spitler.
