Scope and Contents

The question posed in this project was whether there could be a crossing over between Fax images and fine printing making images from Joyce's Ulysses. To respond, each designer selected a brief fragment taken from Ulysses, produced a typographic composition of the chosen text and Fax copied it. The Fax copy was converted to a polymer plate to be printed by letterpress. Each Fax printed image is preceded by a letterpress typographic composition on translucent handmade paper. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
