- Summary:
-
A letterpress broadside printed by Derek Lamb from handset wood type, ornaments (from the US Lanston Monotype Co. for the 'I'), and 16 point Arrighi type (for the legend at the bottom), using an 1887 Alexandra Press, on Magnani Velata Avorio 200 gsm paper (unfortunately some of the last from the now defunct mill at Pescia). The marbled orange was printed first, with marbled silver next and finally a thin layer of marbled black on top. Each layer of ink was rolled and printed wet on wet in a very messy and slow process, which proved quite fiddly and difficult to maintain in register; hence the small edition. Produced as part of a series of large typographic posters on the subject of fashion in conjunction with a haute couture exhibition at Rockhampton Art Gallery, "Coming into Fashion: A Century of Photography at Condé Nast" (another companion exhibition featured local Rockhampton jewellers and milliners).
