Issued in portfolio. Indulgence card of five years from the relic of John de Vaillantcouer attached with a golden ribbon to the cover. Hair has been affixed to the card with a strip of duct tape. Limited ed. of 40 copies. 'The text is based on the articles of accusation that were leveled against Joan of Arc and are part of the court record. To deal with his sense of persecution, John folded his life into Joan’s and there are probably several other Johns on our landscape dealing with life in a similar way. The paper was made from discarded cloth, Judi Conant built the boxes, and the reduction woodcuts were crafted from the bodies of Michael Salchert and Gary Datka. Shawn Williams cut his teeth as a studio assitant [i.e. assistant] on this project and may never be willing to distribute type again. The text type is Bodoni as cast by Mackenzie and Harris, with additions from our own typographic plunder. The illuminated letters are loosely based on Goudy’s Cloister Initials. [Printed by] Jeffrey W. Morin, sBp.'--Colophon.
