The fifteen pictures include macrocosmic landscapes with recognizable deep space and horizons, microcosmic landscapes, or “elegant bits” of nature, as Brett was fond of calling them, and man-made subjects that are usually close-ups. This portfolio also contains a number of renditions of virtually flat subjects that can rightly be called abstractions. The original portfolio included no printed text. The book contains an afterword by Roger Aikin. 12 1/2" x 12 1/2", 15 reproductions, 44 pages. More about the nineteen-volume series
