About This Item
Albuquerque, New Mexico: Loujon Press, 1970. First edition. Fine. 4to, unpag.; comb-bound with stiff backing board and loosely inserted into decorative metallic wrappers, printed with an abstract floral design in orange, yellow, and black on gold. With loose set of twelve large prints reproducing Miller's paintings done for the publication. One of a stated 385 copies in the so-called "Edition G", signed by Miller at the colophon and dated May 1, 1970. As with other Loujon Press publications, it is marked by an over-the-top mixture of various fonts, papers, and images, and with Miller's text in lithographic reproduction of his handwriting. The publication was beset by difficulties, resulting in a confusion of issues and unreliable colophonic information. Some of the various editions would be housed in hand-made wooden boxes by publisher Jon Webb. When he died during production, that was no longer possible and this copy is among those that remained unboxed.
Synopsis
