Una salva de porvenir

Notes: 18 pages. 7-1/4 by 9-1/2 inches. One of 200 copies. Colección del San Juan.

A notable book in the press's design evolution, for the number of illustrations by Estévez, and it's literary significance.

This is the first publication of the collection of poems by one of the most significant Cuban writers of the Revolutionary generation. The text is mimeographed from typescript, with each page having an illustration by Roland Estévez. The covers are collaged from various types and colors of paper, with handcoloring. The colophon indicates that the books are signed by the author, but as is typical with Ediciones Vigía, the books are not actually signed.

On the front and back covers are sections of crumpled paper, pressed flat and glued down. This technique would be perfected and widely employed on Ediciones Vigía books in the post-Estévez era (2014 and after). The spray of color on the cover was achieve by blowing paint through drinking straws.
