This magnificent presentation of poetry and typewriting art uses varying shades and types of silver papers, several different type fonts and letter sizes and 16 typewritten poems that Chopin calls Dactylo-Poems. There is an inserted nine page accordion pamphlet entitled "Phases de Lune." The typography in this book dances across the pages. In this example Number A, there are five unique typewriter drawings; three represent the full moon and two are square figures. In addtion and not called for in the colophon, Chopin inserted a unique typewriter poem as the frontpiece that is captioned, "fresco for the signs in 2001 for Ruth and Marvin Sackner..." This tirage consists of 150 unsigned examples, 10 signed examples including an original typewriter poem, and the unique edition, copy A, that is signed and includes five unbound original typewriter poems as well as an additional smaller size typewriter poem within the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
