Scope and Contents

Brilliantes used typewriter characters to create distinctive shapes from the characters alone, viz. cats, dogs, lions, tigers, giraffes, bedbugs, girls with hula hoops, farmers, toothbrushes, scissors, pans etc. His images are quite unique in typewriter art and poetry and there are no other examples like his in the Sackner Archive. This book is stored in the same portfolio box as Bridgwater's "Typograms." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
