A portfolio of 8 mixed-technique intaglios that have been printed on one half of a large sheet of paper, as if intended for a folded portfolio. Only the first image is signed and editioned, and features the addition of conte crayon detailing in red and white. It is noted as a trial proof "with crayon from T.R.S." It's also dedicated to Paris' friend and frequent assistant, Gary Judd.

The paper used for this collection of images is a fine waterfleaf wove, handmade by Crisbrook J.B.G. (J. Barcham Green) at the Hayle Mills, England.
