de Charmoy's rubberstamped image of the shape of human lungs surrounding a colored photographic reproduction of a laboratory heart-lung preparation, was created by repetitively overstamping with red inked, leaf and flower images.

The realistic image of the isolated heart-lung laboratory preparation provides a sharp contrast to the delicate appearance of the rubberstamped lungs. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
