This is a photograph of a text-dense page titled "ODA A LORCA" by Antonio Frasconi. The image contains a hand-written text describing the creation process of a suite of 16 lithographs. The text details that these lithographs, including a title page, two poems, and a colophon, were drawn on stone and zinc at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles during March 1961. They were hand-printed by Bohuslav Horak, and all stones and zincs were effaced afterward. The text further explains that twenty numbered impressions were printed on Rives BFK paper, with additional artist’s proofs on handmade Japanese nacré paper and other Tamarind impressions. There are also artists’ and trial proofs, with records maintained at Tamarind. The writing uses a combination of stylized cursive and block lettering, and there are small symbols at the bottom part of the image.
