Includes the note for the bookbinder (“note à l’usage de MM. les relieurs”). - “With the simplicity of single vertical lines, pale inks, and embossed plates—which transform rough paper into silken panels—Asse has distilled the processes and materials of the intaglio printmaker into a visual poetry as minimal as that of the author du Bouchet. Echoing the title, ›Ici en deux (Here in Halves)‹, the artist has bisected the cover, frontispiece, and title page with her plates, as well as interrupted lines of verse with a sharp line, splitting the page in two.” (Riva Castleman). Case is occasionally discolored and foxed. Wrapper is slightly browned and minimally foxed. Untrimmed edges show occasional foxing.
