 Item
Identifier: CC-46256-48977
Scope and Contents

There is border of micrographic writing that surrounding the images of this print. It reads, "Whether I might write about this pieceof linoleum is pure speculation except that it was found in a much begained (?) condition lying on the rubbish in a step outside of a house on the left hand side of Lyndhurst Grove Camberwell, London SE 15..." In this print there are four paragraphs of micrographic text spaced from each other, a map of Camberwell London, a reproduction of page 53 of A Humument, and two stencilled ink colored sentences. This print constitutes the final print of six drawn from walks 1/2 mile around Phillips studio - it is based on the belief that there are no dull walks, only dull walkers. The texts of the other five prints are brought together in readibel form that includes a map of the walk. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
