Scope and Contents

The drawing and its frame have an octogonal shape. The labyrinth was taken from Furnival's illustrated book, "Blind Date." The words "Parole, Parabole and Parabolique" are written run-on and in some places on top of the original words in the passages of the labyrinth as viewed from above. The text appears to be an attempt to solve the correct route for exiting the labyrinth. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
