Identifier: CC-12583-12815
Scope and Contents

The manuscript is a typed version of the booklet. The first two additional stapled pages provide instructions to the Stellar Press as to its layout. Another two pages give instructions on revisions to the layout after Finlay's receipt of the first proof copy. The layout was modified from an earlier booklet "A Pretty Kettle of Fish" (1974) to demonstrate it to the printer, viz., a cover drawing indicates the desired placement of the cover photograph and the title typeface. Finlay also furnishes drawings for the inside photographic layout. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

A sketch of Solemnity is included in this archive. In June 1973, Finlay writes to L. MacDermid with his ordered preferences for a vertical sundial, Dividing...,A Solemnity...& A Garden of Sea-Stones with rationale for each in the city of Kelso.
