La Prose du Transsiberien et la Petite Jehanne de France (facsimile) / Delaunay, Sonia ; Cendrars, Blaise ; Sackner MA ; Sackner RK., 2008
This is a facsimile of the artist's book originally published in 1913, made after an original copy in the collection of the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University. The original copy was purchased from the Sackner Archive. This edition also includes a new English translation and essay by curator Timothy Young in an accompanying book. The facsimile was reproduced from scanned images of the original and printed on Mohawk Superfine Ultrawhite Eggshell 100 text. It was letterpress scored, then hand folded like the original and assembled. The slipcase was base on the original vellum cover, which was hand-painted by Sonya Delaunay and glued to the text block. This work is stored with "Metaphor Taking Shape." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
