The FlugBlatt-Presse was founded in 1980 by Heidi Hübner, Peter Malutzki and
Manfred Prochotta. From 1987 until 2000 Malutzki ran the press on his own.
Since 1997 he has worked with Ines von Ketelhodt on the ten-year project Zweite
Enzyklopädie von Tlön. In 2006 they finished the 50-volume undertaking.

The illustrations are made up of, among other things, brass rules, photographs,
linocuts, wood type, a piece of a German newspaper from 1852 and a bit of genuine
gold leaf. Typface: Legende (by Ernst Schneidler). Linen-over-board cover. Edition of
135, 48 pages.
A darning needle with pretensions tries to hold her own as she is shunted from a
maid’s apron into a kitchen sink. Andersen’s cautionary tale of overweening pride is
not without a certain grudging admiration for this attribute as a survival tool.
