12/13 COPIES (from an edition of 18 copies) printed on Lana Royal Crown 220 gsm paper and signed by Susan Allix, 12 illustrations in different media, the majority either colour-printed or hand-coloured: woodcut, linocut, etching, pen & ink, gouache, the frontispiece signed by the artist in pencil, title-page printed in sandy brown and sea-green, the pen and ink drawing with some tiny spots, use of different papers with apertures, pp. [40], oblong 8vo, original quarter teal morocco, onlay of mid-blue morocco lettered in blue, white cloth sides, with a tidal wash in different shades of blue to inner margins, a couple of faint handling marks at head, in a white with blue stripes drawstring beach-bag, one tie with shells attached, pocket to front enclosing card bearing title, very good. A seaside story, whose textual component has been eroded to leave only punctuation - allowing each reader to either add their own verbal component, or enjoy the artist's visual response to the coast in near-silence. It is a companion-work to Allix's most recent book, 'Shoreline', wherein the images evoking the landscape are accompanied by the quiet-audio element of pebbles held within the binding.
