A dazzling label from an old soda bottle pasted over boards encases this small, simply bound book full of black and white collaged images by Barbara Tetenbaum. These have been created using a range of found images including Victorian woodcut illustrations, old manuals, trade catalogues and advertisements.
The jumbled imagery references history, literature, science and religion, the ancient and the modern. Each page is neatly overprinted with thin stripes of colour, adding a dynamism to the black and white of the collages. Sheets of tissue guard paper separate each printed page, reminiscent of those used to protect antique book plates, inviting the reader to treat 'Collage book no 3'. as a tiny treasure.
NAL copy is no. 7 in an edition of 25 copies.
