Thirteen poems with eight colored linocuts. Offset printed in an edition of 88,
numbers 1-10 with separate linocut, 26 pages.
Impressionist poems flowing into an ode to the night. The linocuts by T.A. Schmidt
colorfully illustrate the different atmosphere of each poem.
The Original Hersbrucker Bücherwerkstatt was founded in 1968 in Hersbruck, Bavaria,
as a non-profit workshop combining an interest in literature and art with the goal
of preserving the craft of hand printing and typesetting. The workshop’s volunteer
craftsmen create hand-made woodcuts and linocuts, and work with a variety of
letterpresses and a large collection of wood and metal type. The focal point for the
workshop is a yearly calendar, but its craftsmen also participate in many individual
and group exhibitions in the region.
