Amsterdam, self-published, 1992, letterpress title, 13 line-drawings by Frans Baake and colophon leaf, 6 full colour tipped-in plates printed by hand by Frans Baake on the FAG Control 405 boekdrukproefpers of the Grafisch Atelier (Alkmaar), printed by drukkerij Macula (Boskoop) in 175 numbered and signed copies, original artist-bound pink velvet cloth with title in metallic green imprint, green endpapers, small octavo (15,5 x 11 cm.). = With signed dedication in felt tip marker on final endpapers and handdrawn black marker decoration on first endpapers. This booklet is a tribute to the former Eastern-German photographic film company, which was on top in times one really needed to have a clear view: red was undoubtedly red, blue was definitely blue and so on. Baake has printed some home-made photographs in full-colour by hand. He did his very best, so at the end he could say for himself that the resemblance became astonishing. During his travels, Frans Baake makes sketches, photos and notes. The journey is then translated into a work of art, namely an artist's book, which he publishes himself in a small edition. In artists' books, the image usually dominates. The countless artist books that Baake has made are full of photos, woodcuts, linocuts, screenprints, collages and texts. The books are not literally about his travels and are therefore not comparable to the way we make our photo album or diary after a holiday. Baakes way of working is similar in general: he prepares for his voyage, at the actual trip he will make drawings, writings, photographs; in his studio back home these together with his thoughts and ideas will be transformed into books, prints, sketches, portfolios, articles.
