This piece was created specifically for North Milwaukee Library. Mr. Lamers also designed the North Milwaukee Library building while working with Burroughs and Van Lanen Architects. See entry # 917 for background on the Villard/North Milwaukee art collection. From the artists' statement: "Besides its excellent visual impact, the composition of antique printers' type blocks also speaks of the history of the printed word."Collection
