Another example of Staritsky’s concept of the integration of text and image through mise-en-page. The deep relief etchings are combined with the unusual folding format of the pages in such a way that what is a colored etching on one page becomes a blind relief illustration for the text of the poem on the other side of the page. Thus one plate serves a double visual function in the book.
