Scope and Contents
The title translates in English to "Knitting was a reserved occupation" and Finlay has done another print with the same layout as this one in English. It is a reference to a quotation made in 1794 in the French revolution. Finlay then directs it at the editorial board of the Art Press who contributed to the refusal of his Parisian commission. He equates "occupation" to a hostile force "occupying" a country and in turn addresses them as "knitters."... He also did a picture poem card on "knitters." The image of this print in Finlay's book Prints 1963-1997 is depicted in black whereas this version is printed in red. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
