night places Original Hersbrucker Bëcherwerkstätte; Hersbruck, Germany; 1990 Author: Manfred Rothenberger Illustrator/Artist: Thomas A. Schmidt Printer text: Druckerei Kröner Printer images : Michael Gölling Binder: Buchbinderei Kröner Contact: mugoe@t-online.de Thirteen poems with eight colored linocuts. Offset printed in an edition of 88, numbers 1-10 with separate linocut, 26 pages. Impressionist poems flowing into an ode to the night. The linocuts by T.A. Schmidt colorfully illustrate the different atmosphere of each poem. The Original Hersbrucker Bëcherwerkstatt was founded in 1968 in Hersbruck, Bavaria, as a non-profit workshop combining an interest in literature and art with the goal of preserving the craft of hand printing and typesetting. The workshop's volunteer craftsmen create hand-made woodcuts and linocuts, and work with a variety of letterpresses and a large collection of wood and metal type. The focal point for the workshop is a yearly calendar, but its craftsmen also participate in many individual and group exhibitions in the region. | |||
