Scope and Contents
The text of this mythical tale of an innkeeper who saws the legs short if the guest is too long for his/her bed and streches the guest's legs if they are too short to fit the bed was handwritten by Cremean and then printed letterpress on a blank sheet of paper and in fragments across the embossed area of the print. The prints were embossed through the application of a unique relief, realistic sculpture. The edition was printed by Bill Kelly and Michele Burgess. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
