A few sheets feature an inherent vertical centre fold. – Signed in the colophon. Magnificent and richly coloured prints.

It was produced in a limited edition and is traded as a rare art object. James Brown was known for his dynamic, colour-rich works, which often draw on spiritual and ornamental motifs, making them well-suited to such a typographic-artistic project. 1 watercolour drawing and 15 lithographs.
