About this Item

Book. 125 x 214 mm, enamel, number 4/15. Yellow and blue text printed on white ground (with punch holes for mounting), with hand-sewn yellow felt bag and nametag design by Erica Van Horn. Also contains card colophon (214 x 125 mm), with black text on white stock to recto, and unprinted blue stock to verso. It states: 'Stuart Mills' poem The Triumphal Procession of White Clouds Moving Upstream is often referred to as Yellow Flags, calling to mind his Neo Fauve poem from Flags from a Remnant Railway of 1975. He first printed it as a letterpress postcard on the treadle plate press at The Trent Bookshop in 1969. It was subsequently reprinted in The Sea is Silent by Coracle 1991, amongst other places.' Here he resurrects the poem card as an enamel artist's multiple. Fifteen vitreous enamels were produced by Coracle in 2010. Seller Inventory # 001624
