 Notes: When you open this book, a large wooden library with an intricate parquet floor pops up. Beginning on the cover, a series of cloth footprints leads up to the steps of this library. The space in this book references a rare book library in Baltimore Maryland. This library was the first place I was allowed to handle John James Audubon’s double elephant folios; thus, the scale of the book reflects the awe I felt in the presence of that particular masterpiece.
