El apellido [The Surname]

Guillén, Nicolás

Notes: [6] leaves. 14 by 13 inches. An edition of 100 copies.

A single long poem by one of Cuba's great 20th century poets (1902–1989). The poem is printed with excellent results using an attractive sans serif font and Papiro's century-old printing equipment. The poem is illustrated with a collagraph of words related to the title poem composed by José Angel Vincench Barrera from lead type. Each copy uses the same design but with different inking.

The book's covers are blind embossed with a similar design and then decorated using a technique akin to marbling. The binding is a stab-binding using thin jute cord.
