[Saturn J Mar] / Furnival, John., 1968

 Item — Folder 37: [Barcode: 31858072459971]
Identifier: CC-13301-13602
Scope and Contents

The print on translucent paper lists a circular stream of words, printed in different colors, that relate to celestial bodies. These float over the second print that depicts a large silver globe with latitude and longitude lines. Disintegrating silver capital "V's and other letterforms on the outer border of the globe provide an visual effect that it is spinning. The printing on this work is unusually sophisticated and might have been done in collaboration with A. Doyle Moore, a master printer. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
