Scope and Contents

This piece, one of the largest artistic collages made with letraset is reminiscent of a Jackson Pollack abstract expressionistic painting in its rhythms with letters and symbols. It is also depicted as a fold-out page in Beaulieu's book, "Swarms," that is also held by the Sackner Archive. The title is taken from The Trans-Siberiean Railroad by Blasie Cendrars and Sonya Delauney. The Sackner Archive contains the print edition of this work. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
