Printed directly from the original blocks, each of the fourteen prints is displayed on a page of its own. The average size is 200 x 130 mm (8 x 5 inches) They include: portraits of the family, one of their dogs, their guesthouse, the old pickup, the prairie, the workshop and friends and neighbours.
