Catalogue Essay
It is intended by the artist that these lithographs be viewed with the floor portion at a right angle to the upright portion, at a level enabling the viewer to co-ordinate the perspective of the two sections. Special frames have been constructed for the mounting of the lithographs in this way, and the points at which the prints should be folded are designated on each sheet.
