Scope and Content

A single, double-sided page printed for the 10th Annual Treasure Gems 1980

Context

SPARE THAT TYPE! The author found old type letters at the bindery that spelled out his name & press name. He epoxied the letters together, painted them, and filed them until they were shiny to make a unique conversation piece. The back page is a quote by Ben Franklin - "The greatest monarch on the proudest throne, is oblig'd to sit on his own arse".
